“What Anglicanism can show the world is that commitment is to one another, not commitment to one another’s opinions,” Bishop Johnston said. “We need each other to be fully who we are.

We need each other to be with and for each other.”

With fellow founding partners James E. Ferguson II and Adam Stein, along with lawyers from LDF, the firm successfully litigated a number of key cases before the Supreme Court of the United States that would help to shape evolving American civil rights laws, including: the school busing decision in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971); and two important Title VII employment discrimination cases Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971) and Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody (1975). The firm’s efforts were met several times with violence from white supremacists.

The 2003 consecration of V. Gene Robinson as Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire represented an extraordinary gift because it forced people—from parishioners to bishops to people outside the church—to think carefully and critically about the issue of homosexuality and gay rights. As a result, many of us came to very different understandings of the faith and the gospel. So, let me be clear. I support marriage equality and equal rights for everyone. – James Tengatenga, Bishop of Southern Malawi

We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. – Barack Obama

Your recommendations sought: sexual assault in the military

The focus of many of us in the Pentagon (and the White House and Congress) is on the problem of sexual assault in the military. … I don’t want this to be a Beltway conversation and it struck me that our social media experiment might be a good vehicle for getting those of you in the field to weigh in.

Welby is the first tweeting AB of C, and likes to tell his followers (of whom he has a surprisingly small number – 29,000 to Pope Francis’s 2.5m) about the love of Christ but also about how he’s just been shoe shopping. Alas, today he isn’t in the new shoes I’d read about; when he lifts his foot to show me I see his old black brogues have holes in the soles.

Harvard historian Niall Ferguson set the economics blogosphere ablaze with his statement that since Keynes was a homosexual he didn’t care about the future.
