"When you...stay silent, when you push back + say things like 'all lives matter,' and when right now more than 12 million people are being persecuted because of the color of their skin...Christ follower, you have missed the point."

Yasmin Roohi, Silicon Valley's CenterSet Church

"Until black lives matter, all lives can't matter. They simply don't matter."

"When I look at Jesus, his humility says: I want what's right over being right."

Ali Roohi: "25 years ago another African-American by the name of Michael Jackson wrote a song that said 'They don't even care about us.' The song was so controversial about racial injustice...trying to talk about the the great MLK that his music video was banned from TV."

Er, no, the controversy wasn't about Martin Luther King Jr, it was about a slur against Jewish people...

Racism = "Defending the advantages whites have because of the subordinate position of racial minorities in the same way that this man w/ the shriveled hand [Mark 3:1-6] is in church + no one is helping him + there's a systematic way to label and push him aside + marginalize him."

And here it is, the bottom line: "The church has given close to $4,000 to two initiatives: Be The Bridge..."

Be the Bridge, founded by Latasha Morrison, who nods approvingly as her struggle sessions get compared to Robin DiAngelo's...

At the opening of the United Methodist Church's General Conference, attendees are warned to avoid "exclusively male language for God" and to "be conscious of inferred power dynamics."

The next day, this same duo presented their "report card" on the diversity of officers elected to the conference's legislative committees, then scolded attendees to "work a little bit harder on inclusion with language and interpretation."

Fani Willis returned to church to accept an award and deliver a brief sermon on her court hearing.

"The scripture they keep sending me is 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper'...They did not say the weapons will not form, and that's the part I didn't hear until recently."

Atlanta Berean Church, a Seventh-Day Adventist congregation, hosted Willis this Saturday for nearly 20 minutes of adulation, starting with lead pastor Dr. Sherwin Jack declaring, "She is one of us" (1:26).

The church presented Willis with a "Black History Achievement Award," SDA founder Ellen G. White's "Conflict Of The Ages" book series, and more.

"These beautiful flowers are for you, the beautiful person that you are. We love you."

Kelly Rosati, a National Association Of Evangelicals board member, calls pro-life Christians' opposition to state-run welfare "useless," "un-scriptural," and "madness."

Here's wider context: Rosati, an alumnus of Focus On The Family and former member of the March For Life's board of national directors, is speaking at the NAE's "Flourish" conference in October of last year. (1/2)

"I just want to plant a flag and say: Let us be people that never advocate for abortion restrictions without an accompanying paid family leave support." (2/2)
