I am grateful for the many liberal brethren in Christ who have expressed genuine concern and weariness about recent events. I appreciate the expressions and, like many, I draw some encouragement from them. Please don't stop sharing how you feel. /2

A lot of the expressions of empathy are addressed to Republicans as "brothers and sisters in Christ." A welcome that recognition of our kinship in the Lord--especially when a number of other professing Christians weaponize and politicize that kinship to deny justice. /3
