By L Marston

…ber stated that he thinks the institution is moving towards “an acceptance policy.” However, the president emphasized that the “outcome is uncertain” and the final decision whether to change or retain the policy rests with the board.

By Haroon Moghul

…nning to have, to think outside the box. What should a progressive foreign policy look like? When we say we should ally with countries that share our values, what values, exactly, are we talking about? Whom do those values apply to?

…of the law. And it is pretty damn hard to argue that the administration’s policy on migrant families treats the neighbor as oneself, much less loving them. Or maybe breast-feeding mothers don’t count as neighbors? Maybe I’ve misunderstood that part of scripture. It’s striking—and again extraordinary—how little moral agency Sessions is willing to assert in his remarks. It’s Eric Holder’s fault. The Democrats should have taken the president’s DACA…

By Peter Montgomery

…how to apply his interpretation of other biblical themes to very specific policy details: In Scripture, the obligation to care for the alien carries a corollary responsibility for the immigrant to obey the law and respect national customs.

…same year. He helped organize the “Rediscovering God in America” Pastors’ Policy Briefing by the Florida Renewal Project, which focused on engaging pastors in the presidential campaign and was widely seen as supportive of Huckabee.

By Lindsay Beyerstein

…maintains that the Obama administration is complicit in China’s One Child policy through its support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). “Perhaps that is why, according to Chen, his American ‘hosts’ started to sound more like fellow members of the international population-control mafia that is killing his country, than starry-eyed defenders of ‘human rights,’” Hoffman continued.

We need more engagement as an informed citizenry that…
