Race Relations
Pastor Daryl M. Clarke

Can We Find a New Framework for Immigration Policy?

This essay is a starting point for discussion about a God-centered approach to immigration policy, based upon full appreciation of both the benefits and risks of accepting immigrants into our nation. The Immigration Acts of 2016 and 2019 have severely

A Beginning Point for World Peace?

Today’s turbulence reminds me of the 1960s anti-war movement, which I experienced during my first year at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I quickly became disenchanted with what felt like hopeless solutions being offered by angry people. My question

Race Relations
Rev. Zagery James Oliver

Race Relations
James Edgerly

What Caused Massive Reaction to Events of May 26 Last Year?

Contemporary Culture
Dr. James Ellison

Can We Evaluate our Culture from the Future?

Some practices accepted as normal and traditional in earlier eras and nations of Western history would be condemned as unjust or inhumane in those same countries today. A few examples include punishing male rapists by having them marry their single

Spiritual Understanding
Dr. D. Michael Hentrich

Can God Have a Problem?

God is God, right? Omniscient and almighty; the author of life. The ingenious creator of insects. The brilliant, delicate designer of flowers. The massive and impeccable power behind the billions of galaxies in our vast universe.  Then how could God,
