Dear Siblings in Christ,

Today I am writing to the collective body of Christians who believe that the direction we have been going as a country is not the way of Christ — nationalized cruelty, increased wealth disparity, decimated healthcare, global warfare, and the acceptance, normalization, and encouragement of dismissing, dehumanizing, and destroying anyone or anything that is deemed less than or other.

This movement, often led and reinforced by those who claim Christianity as their guide, is not the version I believe in — and I know that many of you do not either. If we are not careful, their realization of a spiritual apartheid in this country will soon have anyone who thinks differently, lives differently, or believes differently increasingly targeted for control, repression, and erasure.

We are seeing it in education, immigration, healthcare, and more, so this is not hyperbole or "the sky is falling" thinking. I know it is often our human instinct to bend over backwards in the hopes that this authoritarianism is not coming or to claim some intellectual neutrality in the face of the unimaginable. I get it, we don't want to believe that other humans are willing and capable of perpetrating systematic horror upon others. While we tend to hold onto the general goodness of humanity, in this season, it is becoming clear that a freight train of evil is headed our way, and that our neutrality, no matter how much we hope it will help the world stay even-keeled, will not protect us.

Decisions about how our descendants will view our complicity in what our world is becoming lay painfully before us . . .
