ED STETZER: As a Christian + a scientist, do you think there's any basis...to claim a religious exemption from [COVID] vaccines?

FRANCIS COLLINS: I have trouble seeing what it would be...I can't see how that fits together in some sort of rational argument.

"Kids need to be in school. The consequences of missing out on that personal interaction...are really significant. Those of us who are adults + are missing our church gathering, we're suffering too, but if I have to make a priority, getting those kids in school is even higher."

"If churches are determined to meet, what can they do...well, certainly continuing to insist on mask wearing for everybody, vaxed or unvaxed...Families who are arriving together + have been unmasked around each other all day need not be separated [by 6 feet], but others should."

Cont'd quote: "Probably the most dangerous part of this is not what happens during the service, it's what happens right after...I haven't had the chance to wrap my arms around this person...Your desire for human contact overtakes your sense of what might be safe."

WPC breaking a little news: Collins says we need 95% vaccination to beat the virus. Back in June he told The Atlantic 70-85%. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

He gives that number right after saying: "That is not just about the U.S. That's about the country and the globe."

To his credit, Ed asks why Christians should trust the CDC if the CDC says men can give birth. Collins' answer is...super rambly, at one point says if people are worried about anything more than COVID, they're "unmoored from an appreciation that truth is what really matters."

Ed, realizing just how bad Collins just whiffed, asks the question again. Collins punts, "I'm not the director of the CDC." Will only go so far to as to say he is "worried" that their credibility "gets all muddied over with some of these other issues that are very controversial."

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)
