Climate change. A polarizing topic. Samford Howard College of Arts & Sciences is bringing in atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe to shed light on what most call a grim subject. She will address its impacts and propose ideas on how and why people should respond on February 13 in our Wright Center. ⬇️

It is very common for survivors of chronic childhood abuse to say, “I am fine” when in fact they do not even know what “fine” feels like.

It dishonors victims of abuse when we are silent about their experience or pretend it did not occur or was not important.

IHOPKC leaders should write a book about steps toxic Christian communities can take to fail miserably in protecting those with less power while also marginalizing & vilifying others who bring darkness to light. It all begins with a leadership that embraces arrogance & ignorance.

If you know someone who is abusing a child - expose it. Do not leave them in the darkness. You become complicit if you do.

Just lectured on this in my Church Dynamics class on Wednesday. Thank you for your work in this area! G. Jeffrey MacDonald RNS

I am excited to read this! @FlourishingCong Joel Thiessen
