As Ward Church prepares to host the 45th General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Dr. Scott McKee concludes the Firm Foundation series with a deep dive into the essential beliefs that unite us. Drawing from both scripture and history, Pastor Scott explores nine core doctrines that have guided the global church for centuries: the authority of scripture, the full divinity and humanity of Jesus, humanity's need for salvation, the atoning work of Christ, His resurrection, His promised return, the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit, the invitation to become children of God through Christ, and the call to proclaim the gospel through both good news and good deeds. In a world often divided over secondary matters, this message reminds us of the firm foundation that holds us together: Jesus Christ.

Republicans run the show in Washington, D.C., these days, but the GOP remains on the margins in Rhode Island. The state hasn't elected a Republican governor since 2006 and the party holds just 14 of 113 seats in the General Assembly. Back in 2022, Ashley Kalus got almost 39 percent of the vote as the GOP alternative to Democrat Dan McKee. But Kalus faced a handicap since she was a recent transplant to Rhode Island, and her share of the vote was similar to what a generic candidate might receive. Four years later, Kalus is more ensconced in the state and she continues to use social media posts to criticize the status quo. So is Kalus gearing up for another run for governor? What does she make of the Trump administration? And what is Kalus' prescription for increasing GOP representation in Rhode Island? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in depth with former Republican candidate for governor Ashley Kalus.

2025 Legislative Session Review

More than 4,000 bills were introduced during the 2025 General Assembly session, with only 286 gaining final legislative approval. The CBIA BizCast team sat down with CBIA vice president of public policy Chris Davis to break down the session and some of the important bills that will impact the business community. “There were a lot of long nights right at the end of session, especially in those last few days,” Davis said. Much of the focus in the last days of the session centered on the state budget. The $55.8 billion budget adopted by the state legislature uses fiscal guardrail workarounds and business tax hikes to increase state spending by $2.6 billion over the next two years. Davis said the workarounds to the fiscal guardrails are troubling for businesses. “For us in the business community, they're not just talking points these caps,” he said. “They are truly what gives us predictability, sustainability, and stability. “Boosting up that spending beyond what we can really afford is what gives us a lot of pause, because that's going to lead to future tax increases, something that we know that businesses simply can't afford here in Connecticut.” The budget did create a new endowment that will pay for early childhood development programs. “We're happy to see that this expansion happens because getting more people back into the workforce, having them have the ability to afford that childcare in order to go back to work is very important,” Davis said. “We just felt like there was much better ways that we could have funded it and be more sustainable over a longer period of time.” Davis said the session did feature some important “wins” for the business community and state economy. Those bills include reforming the apprenticeship hiring ratios for trades industries, raising the R&D tax credit for bioscience companies, and addressing potentially costly changes to the workers' compensation system. Davis also highlighted the importance of key permitting reforms and replacing the outdated Transfer Act with new release-based cleanup regulations. “We really see this as one of the biggest economic wins that we've had in decades here,” he said. “We're really looking forward to working with our partners in state government in order to implement them.” Davis did note that there was a lot of focus on preventing costly labor mandates and healthcare policies from being enacted. While the 2025 session may be over, that does not mean the work ends for CBIA's policy team. They're working with state agencies to implement the new regulations and other bills. And the team will also spend the coming months engaging with members and legislators. That includes coordinating legislator visits at businesses around the state, listening tours, and reviewing CBIA's annual Survey of Connecticut Businesses. Those conversations and feedback will help inform CBIA's policy solutions for the 2026 legislative session. “It's important for businesses to know that we are here getting your feedback, not only from things that just passed this past session, but also things that you would like to see change going forward,” Davis said.

"I am deeply saddened to report to distinguished delegates, that the fighting across Myanmar continues and that the humanitarian crisis impacting its people is far worse than when I briefed the General Assembly last October. There has been no end to the violence, let alone any significant pause in the conflict between the warring parties, and the scale of the conflict has escalated over the four years since the military takeover in February 2021. There has been no end to the violence, even though thousands have been killed and thousands more injured; Even though civilians, women and children have been targeted in what should be safe spaces – schools, hospitals and places of worship. There has been no end to the violence, even though towns, villages, markets and other infrastructure have been bombed; Nor because of the immense humanitarian needs of over 20 million people, nor because the health system is collapsing, foreign direct investment is evaporating, and the economy is floundering. There has been no end to the violence, notwithstanding the calls of neighbouring countries and ASEAN, or the appeals of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Alarmingly, there has been no end to the violence even after the country was struck by a massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake that devastated not only parts of Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay and Sagaing, but was so powerful that it impacted Thailand, China and other neighbouring nations. What will it take to end the violence? What will it take to cease hostilities in Myanmar so that we can begin a journey to peace and reconciliation? For if there is no end to the violence, Myanmar is on a path to self-destruction".Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

From the bold reforms of Martin Luther and John Knox to the founding of Ward Church in Detroit during the Great Depression, Pastor Scott traces the faithful witness of those who came before us and invites us to stand on their shoulders with gratitude and courage. As we prepare to host our denomination's General Assembly, we're reminded that the Church is not a man-made institution, but a Spirit-empowered movement, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the cornerstone. This is our story. This is our noble heritage.

RV Celtic Explorer accepted as Ireland's first ICOS ocean station for CO2 observation

The RV Celtic Explorer has been officially recognised as Ireland's first Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) ocean station, marking a significant milestone in the country's contribution to global climate monitoring. The Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is a European Research Infrastructure (RI) network that monitors the movement of carbon through the atmosphere, oceans, and terrestrial ecosystems. Established to support high-quality climate change research, ICOS provides long-term, standardised observations of greenhouse gases essential for understanding and responding to climate change. Ireland joined ICOS in 2023, proposing a national network of ten observation stations: four atmospheric, five terrestrial, and one ocean station. At its recent General Assembly meeting, ICOS officially accepted the RV Celtic Explorer as a Class 2 Ocean Station - the first of its kind for Ireland. Onboard, the General Oceanics pCO2 system semi-continuously monitors atmospheric and surface ocean carbon dioxide, enabling high-resolution, real-time data collection. Together with Clara Bog, which was also recently accepted as an associated terrestrial station, these are the first two Irish sites to complete the ICOS certification process and be formally labelled. The global ocean absorbs approximately 25% of human-generated CO2 emissions each year. Without this vital sink, the effects of climate change would be even more severe. However, the strength of this ocean sink is variable and projected to decline, which could further accelerate global warming. Additionally, the increasing absorption of CO2 is driving ocean acidification, posing a growing threat to marine ecosystems. Monitoring air-sea CO2 exchange is therefore critical to understanding and predicting these environmental changes. Ireland is uniquely positioned for this research, and the RV Celtic Explorer's operational zone in the European continental shelf and North Atlantic provides an ideal setting for routine, high-quality measurements. The 65.5-metre RV Celtic Explorer, operated by the Marine Institute, is a purpose-built (2003) ocean-going research vessel. The General Oceanics equilibrator system has been operational since 2017, continuously measuring surface seawater and atmospheric CO2. Principal Investigating Scientist Margot Cronin remarked: "These essential climate data, along with other carbon data collected on ship-based oceanography surveys, are reported to the Surface CO2 Atlas and other international data centres. The data are widely used in national, regional and global scientific assessments, including the Global Carbon Budget, IPCC reports, OSPAR Convention assessments, and the UN Sustainable Development Goal indicator 14.3 on ocean acidification. This has been a highly successful group effort, thanks in no small part to the support of the P&O Instrumentation team, the ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre, and the Marine Institute's RV Operations team."

This month, after six months of court drama, the nation's final 2024 race ended with State Supreme Court Associate Justice Allison Riggs being sworn in.  While many people today might think it was one of the longest delayed races ever, think again. It was 20 years ago that Dr. June Atkinson had her own race, but she didn't take office until August of that following year. On top of that, it ended up being decided by the General Assembly.  They were very deliberate because they realized that this could happen again. So they wanted to make sure it was fair,” she said. “In the law, it was stipulated that there would be a paper ballot. You'd have to have a convening of the Senate and the House, and they would declare the winner.” But, as she explains in the podcast, the bill had to be ratified, or made official, by the Governor first. The N.C. State alum tells us the incredible story with all kinds of behind-the-scenes details. Later, they discuss the future of education governance and the U.S. Department of Education.
