In honor and support of @QTheology recent webinar on non-monogamous relationships, I want to share this word that I spoke to our congregation on the topic this summer:

“For those who are in an open or polyamorous relationship here this morning who might be squirming, because this is an uncomfortable question to hear in church sometimes. I want you to hear me loud and clear as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your relationships are holy. They are beautiful and they are welcomed and celebrated in this space.”
“We call all of us together to the same set of standards that we call everyone to: to seek to follow Jesus in all of our relationships. To seek to be honest and respectful and self-sacrificial and consensual and loving with your partners. When any of us live into these standards we can be sure we are on the path to wholeness and holiness.”
The Rev. M Barclay was the first openly nonbinary person to become a deacon in the United Methodist Church.
Pope Francis adopted his toughest stance ever against populism Tuesday, comparing populists to Adolf Hitler and suggesting that populism caused the Second World War.“It is important for young people to know how populism is born,” the pope said Tuesday at a book launch in Rome. “I think of Hitler in the last century, who had promised development for Germany. They should know how populisms begin: by sowing hate. You can’t live sowing hate.”The pontiff’s words struck hard in a country living under its first elected populist government in decades, formed by a coalition between the progressive, Eurosceptic 5-Star Movement and the pro-sovereignty Lega party.“Study your history, this is the way the Führer started, with racial purity,” he said. We are now in full World War III fought piecemeal and even religion is deformed to be able to hate better.”“Making hatred grow, creating violence and division represents a path to destruction and suicide,” the 81-year-old pontiff added.Increased efforts are needed to teach the young about the history of the First and Second World Wars “so they do not fall into the same error and so they know how populism spreads,” he said.The Pope’s comments came in response to 83-year-old Fiorella Bacherini, an Italian teacher who works with immigrants, who told him that she was concerned about a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.Migrants, the pope said, “must be welcomed with an open heart and open doors. Closure is the path to suicide. It is true that migrants must be welcomed, but they must also be accompanied and above all they must be integrated.”“A government must have an open heart to receive and good structures to assist integration, and also the prudence to say: I can do it up to this point, but no further,” he said.Accepting migrants, Francis added, “is a biblical mandate. We think of Europe that has been made by migrants, by cultures mixing together.”Tuesday’s comments represent the pope’s strongest condemnation of populism to date, although his anti-populist message had already been growing more radical…

For Mary Throne to now claim that she’s never supported any kind of gun control is a flat out lie, and it’s insulting to every gun owner — and every voter — in Wyoming.

14,000 STRONG CARAVAN INVASION HEADED TO AMERICA~”NO ONE WILL STOP US, ONLY GOD”
You people think gambling and extortion are kosher because it’s a thousand years old. All this thousand year old stuff is shit to me. This is America you’re living in, and it’s 200 years old, so you better get your clocks fixed.

“Unlike some, I actually try to state facts,” Obama snarked passive-aggressively in a swipe at President Donald Trump. “I don’t believe in just making stuff up. I think you should actually say to people what’s true.”
The Jews deserve their punishment, he assured his listeners. Their mentality is one of “arrogance… superiority over other people… seclusion.” Jews are “planning and systematically working to incite wars and strife in the entire world.” Because of this behavior the Jews have been punished. First Allah sent the Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the First Temple, then he sent the Roman Titus to destroy the Second Temple, and then Hitler and the kings of Europe, and still the Jews did not learn their lesson:Seven times in this short excerpt (see below) the unidentified preacher repeated and emphasized his antisemitic message that Jews refuse to learn from Allah’s punishments:“They didn’t learn. They have continued to behave the same way… Those [Jews] have not learned from the events of history.”The preacher opened his condemnation of the Jews citing a verse from the Quran to prove his point that the Jews’ suffering is not coincidental but is a punishment from Allah because of their bad behavior. He quoted a verse saying that Allah’s punishment can be seen “throughout the earth”:“Proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied.” [Quran 3:137, Sahih International]The sermon was preached at Khan Al-Ahmar, a site where Palestinian Bedouins have illegally erected dwellings and a school and which is slated for destruction. The preacher was filmed from behind and his face was not visible.Palestinian Media Watch reported on a similar message in a PLO children’s magazine. Hitler was presented as one who performed a positive service to humanity by killing the Jews because they “spread destruction all over the world.” In the essay by a young girl published in the PLO youth magazine Zayzafuna funded by the PA, the girl wrote about a meeting and conversation with Hitler in a dream. Hitler, who was presented along with three Muslim role models, was depicted as someone to be admired because he murdered the Jews:In her dream, the girl asks Hitler: “You’re the one who killed the Jews?” Hitler responds: “Yes. I killed them so you would all know that they are a nation which spreads destruction all over the world.” [Zayzafuna, February 2011]….
LONDON, Oct 23 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When Zee was 13, she returned from school one day to find an engagement party under way at her home in northern England, but her excitement at the celebrations quickly turned to shock.“I asked my mum who’s getting married. She said, ‘It’s you’,” Zee told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.Her betrothed was represented by a photo – an older cousin she had never met who lived in Afghanistan, her parents’ country of birth.“One day I’m not even allowed to talk to boys and the next I’m told I’m getting married,” Zee said.“I was dressed up to look like a Christmas tree – very sparkly, very bling. Everyone was happy. The only person who was miserable was me.”Child marriage – defined internationally as marriage under 18 – remains legal in Britain. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, teenagers can wed at 16 with parental consent. In Scotland, they do not need consent.Zee, who did not want to give her full name, escaped by running away from home, but she says many girls are still being pushed into marriage.Campaigners say it is time that Britain – which has been vocal about ending child marriage in developing countries – got its own laws in order.They were particularly dismayed when Bangladesh changed its law recently to allow marriage at 16 – and cited British law as a justification.“The UK should practice what it preaches,” said Mabel van Oranje, chairwoman of global advocacy group Girls Not Brides.“Britain’s delay in reforming its own marriage laws is increasingly counterproductive.”…
