In this next teaching on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Leah explores his leadership in the Confessing Church and his efforts to disciple Christian resistance in Nazi Germany. She shares how Bonhoeffer trained young pastors in an underground seminary, centering their faith on intentional community and the radical teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. His writings from this period, Discipleship and Life Together, challenge us to embrace “costly grace” —a faith the resists injustice rather than conforming to empire. Leah also reflects on the story of Martin Niemöller, a pastor who initially supported Hitler but later repented and spoke out, reminding us that resistance can take many forms. This teaching invites us to examine our own discipleship, the communities that shape us, and how we are called to live out faith in ways that challenge oppression.Review Leah's notes here and listen to or watch the teaching below.

Silence has never stopped evil - it only fuels it. We've seen it before. Nazi Germany. 9/11. Tehran, 1979.  And now, once again, the world is looking away. As thousands are slaughtered in Syria, as anti-Semitism spreads like wildfire, and as Israel faces existential threats, the silence is deafening. In this episode, we unpack the ancient and modern battle against the Jewish people - and why the story of Esther, Mordecai, and Purim is more relevant than ever.  The enemy's tactics haven't changed. Neither has the need for bold voices to rise up. Esther had a choice: speak up or stay silent. You have the same choice today. Key Takeaways Silence feeds evil. History shows that when the world stays quiet, the worst atrocities unfold. Israel is under attack - again. The enemies of the Jewish people are always calling for annihilation, and today is no different. The Book of Esther is about courage. God's name is hidden, but His hand is clear - just like today. Evil always overplays its hand. Haman thought he had won - until the tables turned. This is your Esther moment. Will you speak out, or will you look away?

The post Martin Niemöller: Then They Came For Me appeared first on KPFA.

From Pulitzer Center: “Germans Thought They Were Immune to Nationalism After Confronting Their Nazi Past. They Were Wrong”Tim Bayly interviews Jürgen von Hagen on Christian nationalism, exploring its historical roots within the Lutheran Church during the Nazi regime. They discuss Toby Von Hagen's (Jürgen's son) thesis on the church's intertwining of theology and national identity, its subsequent alignment with nationalism, and the dangers of merging faith with political aspirations. The conversation highlights parallels with contemporary American Christian Nationalism and critiques the impact of political nationalism on faith and doctrine. Jürgen reflects on historical figures like Martin Niemöller and the complexities of academic integrity in the face of political correctness. They conclude by sharing personal insights about faith in relation to professional life and current moral dilemmas.Chapters0:05 Toby's Thesis2:15 Church and State Dynamics8:31 The American Perspective11:45 The Rise of Christian Nationalism16:18 The Barman Declaration20:50 The World Economic Summit23:52 Experts and Academics30:28 Reflections on the Third Reich36:12 The Role of the Church40:49 Experiences in Leadership43:16 Vice Rector Responsibilities48:11 Diversity in Universities50:22 Journey to Pastoral Leadership57:13 Relationships and Reconciliation1:01:30 Future Aspirations and Service1:03:40 Final Thoughts and FriendshipTagsTim Bayly, Juergen Von Hagen, Christian nationalism, Lutheran Church, Nazi regime, theology, national identity, academic integrity, Martin Niemöller, political correctness, faith, professional life***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be a Christian nationalist in today's world? Join us on "More Than Medicine" as we unpack this complex and often controversial term with our distinguished guest, Arthur Hampton. Arthur sheds light on the nuances between theonomic and non-theonomic Christian nationalism, offering a detailed explanation of theonomy and its distinction from theocracy. We also delve into how Old Testament civil laws fit into modern governance, drawing insights from influential thinkers like Stephen Wolfe and Doug Wilson. Wolfe's book "A Case for Christian Nationalism" and Wilson's "Mere Christendom" present differing visions of what a Christian nation could look like, providing a rich discussion on the topic.Our conversation takes a historical turn as we contrast the roles of preachers in the face of societal pressures, inspired by the lives of Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We critique Stephen Wolfe's two kingdoms theology, exploring its inconsistencies with Christian nationalism and the challenges of applying biblical laws within civil governance. Lastly, we dive into Doug Wilson's vision, emphasizing the transformative power of evangelism and the importance of public acknowledgment of Christ's lordship. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights on balancing secularism with religious commitment and the role of Christians in shaping society. Don't miss this enlightening discussion that's both timely and deeply relevant.https://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Das christliche Wort zum Alltag von Christine Unrath von der Evangelischen Kirche. Den Text des SR 1 Zwischenrufs kann man auch im Internet nachlesen unter kirche-im-sr.de

Martin Niemöller war ein Hauptvertreter der Bekennenden Kirche und jahrelang im KZ. Reichte das, um als erster EKD-Ratsvorsitzender gewählt zu werden?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a famous twentieth century Christian, was a dynamic and occasionally controversial theologian who became a household name because of his character and courage. When it mattered the most, in a time when many of his fellow Germans—including pastors and priests—embraced Hitler and the Nationalist ideas of the Third Reich, Bonhoeffer stood with conviction.   After the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the bulk of German Protestant groups submitted to the oversight of pro-Nazi leaders. These so-called “German Christians” compromised the eternal truths of God to a racist, statist, and eugenicist totalitarian regime. Because of their compromise, they were left free to practice their faith, as long they did not transgress Nazi doctrine.  Bonhoeffer, with others such as Martin Niemöller and Karl Barth, did transgress. They also stood against compromising churchmen. Bonhoeffer helped found the dissident Confessing Church and underground seminaries and was among those who published the defiant Barmen Declaration. Rejecting his earlier pacifism, he took on an active role in resistance to Hitler's tyranny, eventually joining the plot to assassinate the madman.  Though Bonhoeffer has been rightly praised for his faithfulness and courage in each of these activities, his most courageous act may have been simply going home. In the early years of the Nazi terror, Bonhoeffer went first to the United Kingdom and then the United States, taking up teaching positions in a free, safe part of the world.   His conscience, however, did not let him remain in safety while his nation was facing and committing such evil. In 1939, just weeks before the war began, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany. Writing to the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, he explained, “I will have no right to participate in the reconstruction of Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the trials of this time with my people.”  Despite his courage, Bonhoeffer wasn't perfect. His theology, at times, strays and is puzzling. In fact, one of his most important co-laborers, Karl Barth, had his own theological complications and moral failings. This is a theme that frequently emerges in Christian history. Figures as prominent as Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr., though used by God in incredible ways, were flawed in behavior and belief.   This fits well with the heroes described in Holy Scripture. The author of Hebrews, in chapter 11, offers a list of champions for God that is rightly described as the Bible's Hall of Faith. Even the best of the list, men like Abraham and Moses, are as famous for their flaws as their victories. In the cases of some who are included, like Samson, Gideon, and Jephthah, it's difficult to understand how they are even heroes. Yet there they are included among the others.  The danger in refusing to honor the imperfect isn't just the temptation to whitewash others' sins while excusing our own. It's also the temptation to wait for an imaginary tomorrow when everything is just right rather than working today to oppose what's wrong. And it is here that we can learn another lesson from Bonhoeffer. In his book Ethics, he called on Christians to be faithful in the here and now, writing,  Do and dare what is right, not swayed by the whim of the moment. Bravely take hold of the real, not dallying now with what might be. Not in the flight of ideas but only in action is freedom. Make up your mind and come out into the tempest of living.  For Bonhoeffer, the Christian faith must be lived in the time and place in which God places us. In that sense, courage and faith are inseparable. We must do the right thing, even if the cost is great and even if we feel inadequate for the task.  God has called you and me into this tempest of the living. As James instructs, Christianity is not merely believing the right things but doing them, empowered by the Spirit given to us in Christ Jesus. This will mean risk. It may mean failure. But it's through the imperfect faith of His people that God is at work renewing His world.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Timothy Padgett.

Does engaging in (political) protest make a difference? Is it apathy to stay home? Is silence concurrence? What is virtue and what is signaling?  These questions grow more pertinent with the spotlight on protests, from America, to Israel, to... Kenya. Reporting from Nairobi is our man Adam, where national unrest had the city half-closed, with millions taking to the streets or deciding not to. We tangle up a list of whys and why nots.

Anti-immigrant laws impact the economy and our humanity. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, my dear friend Samuel Vilchez Santiago, with whom I've advocated for social justice causes at the local, state, and national levels, joins me to talk about Florida Senate Bill 1718 in effect July 1st, and its impact to our community, economy, and cost of living.  Samuel is Florida State Director of the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), a bipartisan organization that engages activists, advocates, business leaders, and elected officials on the urgency of passing immigration reform that boosts our economy, creates jobs, eases the labor shortage, and supports families. He reminds us of the quote by Martin Niemöller: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Samuel also reminds us that anti-immigrant laws are nothing new. Proposition 187 in 1994 sought to limit services to undocumented immigrants and required verifying and reporting the immigration status of all individuals, including children. After 5 years of advocacy, this law was voided. SB 1718 in Florida, passed WITHOUT making it a felony to transport or live under the same roof with an undocumented person, under penalty of spending 15 years in prison, because of the strong bipartisan advocacy of the church community and organizations like ABIC. “This would have affected me directly because my grandmother came to visit from Venezuela, and we are in the process of getting everything in order for her to stay with us, but her undocumented status would have made it a felony for us to care for her. Thankfully, advocacy works, and we are determined to overturn this law altogether,” Samuel shares. It's hard to determine the impact of SB 1718 because investments are rarely made into doing research about our community. The Mexican Consulate in Orlando assisted 200 people daily, and they're now down to 40. Many construction sites are at a standstill. Latino families are panic-stricken this Back-to-School season, especially those with mixed status.  Florida's economy will lose billions in spending power and the taxes contributed by immigrants. Businesses in Tourism, Hospitality, Construction, Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Healthcare across the state are starting to feel the impact, too, because 1 in 4 workers in Florida is (was?) an immigrant. Floridians will now also likely see the price of food and housing go up as undocumented workers and their families leave the state. They are leaving for Georgia and the Carolinas. Florida already has the nation's highest inflation rate, sitting at 9% in comparison to 4% in the rest of the country. Take heed, speak out, so there's someone there when they come for you.

This is going to be short and to the point today. Just a few days after burying 3 children and 3 adults after a mass shooting here in Nashville, there was another mass shooting in a bank in Louisville.Meanwhile, our governor in Tennessee is focusing on banning drag queens “to protect the children”.My heart is heavy, so today, I offer you all I have.Courtesy of Martin Niemöller.Love and light to you, Beautifuls.

Neste episódio temos a alegria de bater um papo descontraído com Gilmar Lopes, criador do site pioneiro em investigação de notícias falsas do Brasil, o E-farsas. Desde 2002 ele revela se aquele material estranho que recebemos na internet é uma realidade bizarra ou não passa de fake news - trabalho que começou como um hobby mas que se tornou imprescindível à democracia nos últimos anos, a ponto de virar parceiro do TSE. Gilmar é referência nacional no assunto, e nos conta como se faz para descobrir uma fake news, sobre os desafios da era da pós-verdade, e também sobre a diversão de investigar boatos inocentes, sempre numa busca incansável pela verdade - doa a quem doer!

Comedian Gary Gulman uses “empathy” as a theme in his new show “Born on Third Base.” Among other things, he discussed Pastor Martin Niemöller famous quote “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out --- because I was not a socialist.” That is perhaps the most touching and thought-provoking expressions of human and communal responsibility of the 20th Century. But the history of that poem is just as heart-rending, and prompts just as much self-reflection about political and social responsibility as anything that came out of that horrific period. Please listen.

Hello to you listening in Bromma, Stockholm, Sweden!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I look at what is falling apart around us and I wonder, “Really? Is this the best we can do?”  I seek to put aside how I feel so I can better listen, ask questions, begin what will be a very long process of gentle defiance. And, maybe not so gentle. When I stand for something I will not fall for just anything. And today there is a lot of nonsense that can trip us up, make us want to quit.  As my dear friend and colleague Brandi Heather reminds me, “Never, ever, quit, as unreasonable as it seems!”Someone else who did not quit, as unreasonable as that seemed, was  Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) a prominent Lutheran pastor, and a most complicated figure in German history. First as ally and then outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler Niemöller spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. He is perhaps best remembered for his postwar words, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”Question: What if we don't do what's reasonable? What if we act from that place where we are our very best, unreasonable, unquenchable selves? What if we proceed until apprehended? Starting right here, right now!You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Så meget, at vi vil gøre uhyggeligt meget for at være i en gruppe. Og er vi først inde, så viser alle undersøgelser, at vi bliver dårligere mennesker, der ikke siger fra. Vores moral skrider. Vi bliver utilregnelige i flok, og jo mere vi uniformerer os i ens hættetrøjer, jakkesæt eller træningstøj, desto mere anløbne og overmodige bliver vi.Med udgangspunkt i en ny bog, drøfter Livstykkers to podcastværter, redaktør-Kirsten og teolog-Liselotte, hvad det tilhørs-hungrende menneske (du og jeg!) er for sære starutter. Bogen hedder “Når Flokdyret Fejler - hvorfor vi kloge mennesker træffer så mange ukloge beslutninger” af Henrik Tingleff. https://www.gyldendal.dk/produkter/nar-flokdyret-fejler-9788702328493Liselotte nævner romanen ”Fluernes herre” af William Golding https://www.saxo.com/dk/fluernes-herre_william-golding_haeftet_9788702162776 og René Girards forfatterskab https://www.kristendom.dk/troens-hovedpersoner/ren%C3%A9-girard-1923 Citatet i slutningen af udsendelsen er af Martin Niemöller, flådeofficer, nationalist, præst, modstander af nazismen, koncentrationslejrfange og pacifist:”Først kom de for at tage…”Først kom de for at tage kommunisterne, men jeg protesterede ikke, jeg var jo ikke kommunist.Da de kom for at arrestere fagforeningsmændene, protesterede jeg ikke, jeg var jo ikke fagforeningsmand.Da de spærrede socialisterne inde, protesterede jeg ikke, jeg var jo ikke socialist.Da de spærrede jøderne inde, protesterede jeg ikke, jeg var jo ikke jøde.Da de kom efter mig, var der ikke flere tilbage til at protestere."

In the immediate aftermath of last July's riots and looting, a BizNews community member whom I've known and respected for decades, penned a powerful Open Letter to president Cyril Ramaphosa. The author's name was withheld to avoid unnecessary retaliation against themselves or their organisation. It struck a chord, with 300 000 people reading it and over 180 000 watching the YouTube version (and over 1 000 commenting on it). The author, whose nom de plume honours the anti-Nazi pastor/activist Martin Niemöller, is back with a bang. Warning: not for the politically correct wokies. – Alec Hogg

On today's podcast I bring you another update about the current situation here in Israel and how it affects democracies all over the world. I re-examine the western view of obedience as it pertains to the ongoing pandemic crisis. I then transition by taking a closer look at the overall track record of the man that the media once called "America's Doctor" and I explore the latest  findings on the 4th shot in Israel and what the experts are saying about its efficacy here in the Land.  The show segues by remembering two prominent figures in history and why they are memorialized. This episode concludes with the Martin Niemöller story and a Psalm of encouragement and reassurance for these troubling times that we all find ourselves in.Music:Cinematic Middle EasternIsrael Mosaic Website:https://israelmosaicpodcast.wixsite.com/listen

Be Subject to the Governing Authorities?There are two major teachings in the New Testament, one from Peter and the other from Paul, that reveal God's instructions for the church regarding submitting to governing authorities. And both of these seem to give blanket commands to submit to them for the sake of the Lord and the gospel. The first one is found in 1 Peter 2:13-15. Therefore submit yourselves (to place under in an orderly fashion) to every (pás) ordinance (to create, form, or found) of man (why) for the Lord's sake, (examples) whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for (1) the punishment of evildoers and for (2) the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good (what) you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men - 1 Peter 2:13-15. And, even more direct, the second is found in Romans 13:2-4. Therefore (since God is sovereign regarding governing authorities) whoever resists (antitássō – to set an army against, to arrange in battle order, to go to war against) the authority resists (anthístēmi – to stand against in both deed or word) the ordinance of God, and those who resist (anthístēmi) will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good (agathós – excellent, best, upright, virtuous) works, but to evil (kakós – wicked, vicious, bad in heart and character). Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good (agathós), and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister (diákonos – servant, one who runs in the dust) to you for good (agathós). But if you do evil (kakós), be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister (diákonos), an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil (kakós) - Romans 13:2-4. But what happens when the governing authorities no longer serve as the protector of good and the punisher of evil? What happens when the authorities reward evil and persecute good? How are we to obey these passages? Or should we? How does this command relate to the COVID mandates and the coming vaccine passports? What is the difference between a just or unjust law? Are we required to obey an unjust law? And if we do, doesn't that make our actions unjust? Or, based on the truths cited above, does it even matter to a believer if a law is just or unjust? Are we to obey outright, with no concern for the morality of what we are obeying? Unless… What?Are there ever any exceptions to submission to governmental authority? Or does this blanket submission apply in all cultures and at all times, such as during the holocaust in Nazi Germany or in our country today? And it so, why did Peter and John refuse to submit to the governmental order to stop preaching or teaching in the name of Jesus in Acts 4:18-20? Were they wrong? Or is there another principle at play here? And if there is another principle involved, what is it? How are we to determine if obeying God means disobeying our authorities? And how is that being played out in our nation, and the church, today? The answer is found in our duty and calling to stand for others who are too weak to stand for themselves. We are to give voice to those who have no voice. Consider the following: Deliver (to rescue, to free from harm or evil, to snatch away to safety) those who are drawn (to grasp, take, or seize by an outside force) toward death, and hold back (to restrain, to refrain, to keep one from doing something), those stumbling (to move without being stable, to waver, to cause to be shaken in one's resolve) to the slaughter (an event that causes someone to die) – Proverbs 24:11. Remember the chilling words of Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) in his prophetic poem, First They Came. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a socialist. Then they...

Dear Friends,Don't miss this week's Podcast #28 - And Then They Came for Me! We've drawn freely from Martin Niemöller's classic line—"Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up”—as the National School Boards Association has enlisted the help of the Department of Justice in “quieting” the passionate voices of parents confronting CRT/gender ideology in numerous school boards across the country.Join the conversation by leaving a comment and passing this important podcast along to a friend or two.As always, thank YOU for joining us on Entering Stage Right!

Born in 1892, Martin Niemöller was a prominent German Lutheran pastor who became an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. It was Niemöller who wrote:First they came for the Bolsheviks, and I said nothing—Because I was not a Bolshevik.Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I said nothing— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.Then they came for the Jews, and I said nothing— Because I was not a Jew.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak.Unfortunately, it was too late for millions of people who lost their lives during World War Two to recognize the danger Martin described. His writing summarizes the greatest danger humanity has ever faced, in the past, in the present, and if not stopped into the future. What is the greatest danger? Relational Relativism. Relational Relativism is a term I've coined which means to treat people differently than we would treat ourselves or closest loved ones. When we do treat someone different, it essentially erases their humanity and places you as master. When we see another human being as anything less than a human being who is exactly like us, we fall into the same end where we divide ourselves, only to see more pain. If I don't see you the same way I see me, then I don't really see me. 

Governments in America are running headlong into a dictatorship, tyranny, and despotism. Yet, the majority of the American people stand by and do nothing. They watch as their representatives, employees they hired to exercise their power in their name, turn more and more citizens into subjects and slaves....

Dana Ullman – Sociopaths vs. Homeopaths The De-Platforming of Natural Medicine Disclaimer: The views expressed on this show are those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of OMTimes Media. Aired Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM EST Interview with Homeopathic Expert and Author Dana Ullman “The body politic has become so inundated with toxic ironies that our skeptic system has overflowed.” — Swami Beyondananda I was thinking of calling this podcast, “First, They Came For the Homeopaths.” Anyone who grew up in the post World War II world is familiar with the confessional quote by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. I am deeply saddened to report that we seem to be on a similar track here in “Not-see America.” The COVID crisis and lockdown has been an excellent excuse to censor and de-platform many forms of alternative medicine, particularly those that cannot be owned or controlled by big pharma. This is nothing new. Only now, it has become more blatant. Our guest this week homeopathic expert and author Dana Ullman, will discuss the issue of medical totalitarianism and what we can do about it. He will also reveal some research on what the 1919 pandemic got wrong, and how those misunderstandings are leading to deaths in 2021. He will also talk about a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle that misquoted him and misrepresented his viewpoint, just so they could make a point about “anti-vaxxers.” Dana Ullman is one of America’s leading advocates for homeopathy. He has authored 10 books, including The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy, Homeopathy A-Z, and he co-authored the bestselling Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines. Dana also created an e-course How to Use a Homeopathic Medicine Kit which integrates 80 short videos with his famous e-book that is a continually growing resource to 300+ clinical studies published in peer-review medical journals testing homeopathic medicines.

Bíblia em um ano: Deuteronômio 30–31; Marcos 15:1-25 Leitura bíblica de hoje: Deuteronômio 31:1-8 Portanto, sejam fortes e corajosos! Não tenham medo e não se apavorem diante deles. v.6 Enquanto a maioria dos líderes da igreja alemã se rendeu a Hitler, o teólogo e pastor Martin Niemöller esteve entre os que resistiram ao nazismo. Li uma história que descrevia como, na década de 1970, um grupo de alemães mais idosos ficou do lado de fora de um hotel enquanto alguém que parecia ser um jovem arranjava a bagagem do grupo. Alguém lhes perguntou quem eram. “Pastores alemães”, veio a resposta. “E o jovem?” “É Martin Niemöller. Tem 80 anos, mas permaneceu jovem por ser destemido.” Niemöller não resistiu ao medo por ter algum gene sobre-humano, mas pela graça de Deus. Na realidade, ele havia tido opiniões antissemitas. Mas se arrependeu, e Deus o restaurou para disseminar e viver a verdade. Moisés encorajou os israelitas a resistirem ao medo e a seguirem o Senhor em verdade. Quando sentiram medo após saber que Moisés logo lhes seria tirado, então o profeta lhes deu uma palavra inabalável: “…sejam fortes e corajosos! Não tenham medo e não se apavorem […] O Senhor, seu Deus, irá adiante de vocês” (v.6). Não havia motivo para temerem um futuro incerto por uma única razão: Deus estava com eles. Independentemente da escuridão que surgir e dos terrores que o bombardearem, Deus é por você. Enfrente os seus medos sabendo que Deus pela misericórdia divina “não os deixará nem os abandonará” (vv.6,8). WC

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. German poet Martin Niemöller famously described how the Nazis achieved absolute power, warning: “First, they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.” He remained silent when they came for other groups of which he was also not a part. When they came for him, there was no one left to help.  Partisans whose totalitarian tendencies are becoming ever more apparent are now coming for Donald Trump and his supporters. They seek the President’s immediate removal from office and, in the meantime, are eliminating his and his allies’ access to communications platforms. They are ramping up economic warfare against like-minded businesses and are threatening any that might serve or hire Trump-tied individuals. You may not be affected so far. But make no mistake: Unless this stops, they will, in due course, come for you. This is Frank Gaffney.

On the first episode, we dive into the story of Martin Niemöller, a German pastor during Nazi reign. We discuss the dangers and seductions of indifference and an unfeeling nature to the around you; beginning a journey into rehabilitating the need to pay attention and search for truth, not matter how painful and discouraging it may be.

Er heißt Kirchenpräsident und nicht Bischof, weil es in der Evangelischen Kirche Hessen-Nassau weniger Hierarchien und viel Anreize zum Mitmachen geben sollte. So hatte es einst der erste „Chef“ der EKHN nach dem Krieg, Martin Niemöller, gewollt. Volker Jung ist ein Teamplayer. Ob auf dem Fußballplatz damals im heimischen Schlitz/Vogelsberg oder hinter der Theke in der Gastwirtschaft seiner Eltern, wo er früh aushalf. Diese Eigenschaft, so verrät er im Podcast „Schröder trifft“ Nr. 47, kann er besonders jetzt gut gebrauchen. Denn der Zusammenhalt in Corona-Zeiten und das ehrgeizige Spar- und Strukturkonzept erfordern viel Mannschaftsspiel. Dass er wegen Meckerns eine Rote Karte bekommt, dass passierte dem ausgeglichenen humorvollen Kirchenoberen mit Sitz in Darmstadt nur wenige Male auf dem Fußballplatz. Sport und Kirche haben viel gemein, sagt er. Neben den Leibesübungen gehören auch die Medienpolitik zu den Aufgaben, die der 60Jährige im Auftrag des Rates der Evangelischen Kirche wahrnimmt. Weihnachten übrigens wird in der Familie gefeiert. In diesem Jahr eher im kleinen Kreis.

"Levou um bom tempo para eu aprender que Deus não é inimigo de meus inimigos. Ele não é nem inimigo de Seus inimigos”. (Martin Niemöller) Incompatibilidade Quando fala de felicidade, Jesus considera abençoados os que sofrem perseguições: “Bem-aventurados os perseguidos por causa da justiça, porque deles é o Reino dos Céus. Bem-aventurados são vocês quando, por minha causa, os insultarem e os perseguirem, e, mentindo, disserem todo mal contra vocês”. (Mateus 5.10-11) Jesus sabia que havia uma incompatibilidade entre os seus ensinos e as propostas das gerações. Ele mesmo pagou com a vida por ser contra o ódio e a injustiça, a favor da paz e da igualdade, contra o mérito para a salvação, a favor da graça no perdão. Quando começam a falar as mesmas coisas que todos dizem, a fazer o que todo mundo faz, a aceitar regras injustas, para serem queridos, para serem elogiados, para serem convidados para banquetes em mansões e palácios, para terem liberdade para pregar, os seguidores de Jesus se tornam indignos. Quando não mais se importam com o que o seu Mestre se importa, estão acomodados, não são incomodados, não são pressionados como os apóstolos. Um evangelho bem recebido por todos não é mais o Evangelho. Um evangelho adaptado à linguagem do poder e da violência é uma negação ao Evangelho. Um Evangelho que transforma pessoas é o vivido por aqueles que não desejam a perseguição mas nunca o traem para serem aplaudidos ou protegidos. Um evangelho que transtorna o mundo é o seguido por aqueles que não o usam para seus próprios benefícios. Para não serem descartados como sal sem sabor e luz sem vigor, os seguidores de Jesus precisam pensar como Jesus e amar como Jesus, não importa o preço. “Vocês serão presos e perseguidos. Vocês serão lançados nas prisões (...), por causa do meu nome”. (Lucas 21.12) Bom dia!!!! Israel Belo de Azevedo

 Ingen kan beskylde Document for å være likegyldige. For oss er likegyldighet og ansvarsfraskrivelse to sider av samme sak. Der store, norske medier glatter over og utelater alt som kan reise den minste tvil om Bidens seier, bringer vi daglig nye detaljer fra et bilde så stort og skremmende at det å ikke rapportere om det ville være å holde folk for narr.I dag gikk vi i studio mer eller mindre samtidig som nyheten om at Biden ønsker å gi amnesti til mellom 11-22 millioner illegale utlendinger bosatt i USA, ble fanget opp av vår redaksjon. Vår kilde var da Breitbart, et stort og konservativt amerikansk nettsted. Uttalelsene falt i et lengre intervju Biden ga til NBC, tirsdag kveld, om hvilke felt han vil vektlegge i sine første (eventuelle) 100 dager som president. Selvsagt blir klippet vist og diskutert i Dagsorden med Hans Rustad og Geir Furuseth, men et overraskende poeng de to ikke fikk med seg på innspillingstidspunktet, er at denne i seg selv oppsiktsvekkende nyheten nesten ikke er rapportert av «de store og toneangivende mediene». I Dagsorden nevnes én mulig årsak til dette, nemlig at dette ikke er en vinnersak for den jevne amerikaner, ei heller for demokratiske velgere. Nok en gang var det Breitbart som brakte akkurat den nyheten, en nyhet du skal lete godt for å finne nevnt i andre norske medier. Hvorfor så ikke skjer overlater vi til leserne å filosofere over. Ellers i sendingen kommer flere nye detaljer som viser hvordan de store teknologi-selskapene fortsetter å bygge «Storebror-ser-deg-samfunnet», hånd i hånd med Obamas tidligere visepresident Joe Biden og hans milliardær-venner.  En av disse er George Soros, mangemilliardæren som er kjent som mannen som tvang Bank of England i kne, da han i 1992 brukte 10 milliarder engelske pund sterling på å kjøre den engelske valutaen i senk. Selv tjente han en milliard pund på det veddemålet. Pengene bruker han på diverse «veldedige formål», som for eksempel å støtte det demokratiske partiet i USA. At han i tillegg sponser en radikal kanadisk NGO som «tilfeldigvis» holder til i samme kontorbygning i Toronto som hovedkontoret til produsenten av stemmemaskiner, Dominion Data, er selvsagt også tilfeldig, skal vi tro hovedstrøms-mediene.Du må også lese, se eller høre Document for å få vite at den selvsamme Soros også er så opprørt over politikken Ungarn (hans opprinnelige hjemland) og Polen fører i forhold til fordelingen av migranter innen EU, at han skriver brev til EU-kommisjonen hvor han ber EU ta vetoretten fra dem. At han angriper disse to landene er selvsagt ikke så tilfeldig, men likefullt en ganske godt skjult sannhet vi ikke kan stille oss likegyldige til:De to landene er av den oppfatning at EU bruker påstander om brudd på rettsstaten i deres land som et pressmiddel mot stater som hverken ønsker migranter eller faller i smak ideologisk i Brussel og Berlin. (Ursula von der Leyen: – Polen og Ungarn bør gå til EU-domstolen)Før du kaster deg over dagens sending, vil vi bare be deg lese teksten til den tyske presten Martin Niemöllers berømte dikt, Likegyldighet:Først tok de kommunistenemen jeg brydde meg ikkefor jeg var ikke kommunist.Så tok de sosialdemokratenemen jeg brydde meg ikkefor jeg var ikke sosialdemokrat.Deretter tok de fagforeningsfolkenemen jeg brydde meg ikkefor jeg var ikke fagforeningsmann.Til slutt tok de meg. Men da var det ingen igjen til å bry seg.(Av Martin Niemöller, gjengitt på Wikipedia) Kjøp julegaver fra Document Forlags utsøkte utvalg her!

Vor genau 75 Jahren hat die evangelische Kirche mit dem sog. „Stuttgarter Schuldbekenntnis“ ihre Mitschuld eingeräumt an den Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus. Führender Autor dieses Bekenntnisses war Martin Niemöller. Der war während des Krieges Pfarrer der Bekennenden Kirche und hatte jahrelang im KZ gesessen. Nach dem Krieg wurde er Kirchenpräsident der Evangelischen Kirche in Hessen-Nassau und zu einer Ikone des linksliberalen Protestantismus. Der ehemalige U-Boot-Offizier des 1. Weltkrieges kritisierte die Wiederbewaffnung der Bundesrepublik nach 45 und bezeichnete Soldaten als Mörder. Doch nun kratzt eine neue Biographie an diesem radikal-pazifistischen Image. War Martin Niemöller Zeit seines Lebens Antisemit? Und hat er seine einst nationalistische Haltung nach 1945 nur übertüncht? Michael Hollenbach ist für Camino in hr2-kultur der Frage nachgegangen, wer Martin Niemöller wirklich war.

Mit dem „Stuttgarter Schuldbekenntnis“ bekannte die evangelische Kirche vor 75 Jahren ihre Mitschuld an den Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus. Federführender Autor: Martin Niemöller. Der Pfarrer der Bekennenden Kirche hatte jahrelang im KZ gesessen. Doch nun kratzt eine neue Biographie an seinem Image. Martin Niemöller - Ikone oder Reizfigur?

Der Pfarrer Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) ist als Mitbegründer der Bekennenden Kirche und durch seine Reden zur Schuld der Deutschen nach 1945 bekannt. Dabei war er als Student in völkischen und antisemi­tischen Parteien und Verbänden aktiv und begrüßte 1933 die NS-Machtergreifung. Auch nach 1945 trat seine Judenfeindschaft wiederholt hervor. Benjamin Ziemann rekonstruiert die Biographie eines streitbaren Kirchenpolitikers und Nationalisten, der die Weimarer Republik ebenso ablehnte wie Adenauers Politik der Westbindung. Nach 1945 wurde Niemöller zum Pazifis­ten – und blieb doch dem Habitus des kaiserlichen Marine­offiziers treu. In diesem Leben voller dramatischer Mo­men­te werden die Umbrüche und Kontinuitäten der deutschen Geschichte im 20. Jahrhundert anschaulich.

What Peace? What Love? A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli for Foundry UMC June 21, 2020, third Sunday after Pentecost. “Living As If…” series.  Text:  Matthew 10:24-39 Last week Foundry received a powerful call from Rev. Kimberly Scott to live as if our loved ones are at risk, to recognize that God has placed us where we are today to be part of building up a new world. When Rev. Scott repeated the call to live as if our loved ones are at risk, I found myself thinking our loved ones ARE at risk. The question is: Who do we count as our loved ones? Who is our neighbor? Only our blood kin? Only those we know well? Only those with whom we agree? Today, the lectionary gives us what folks in my Thursday night Bible Study widely agree is a not-so-favorite passage of scripture. And, I get it. It’s full of all sorts of confusing and triggery words and phrases. “Fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” “Whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.” “Do not think I have come to bring peace, but a sword.” “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.” And what’s all that business about finding and losing life? It’s a lot! But, honestly, the more I’ve read and prayed with our text this past week, the more I realize that these lines of scripture are the sermon Jesus might give if he were to show up at the podium at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Black Lives Matter Plaza today. Matthew chapter 10 begins with Jesus calling together his disciples to give them authority over unclean spirits and power to cure disease (Mt 10:1) and to proclaim the good news of the Kin-dom (10:7). Jesus then sends them into the world and communicates clearly that some folks will not receive them, will not acknowledge their authority, will not welcome their message (10:14). And worse, they’ll likely get beaten up by those in power and “dragged before governors and kings” (10:17-18). We hear in verse 25 “If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!” In other words, the disciples who do what Jesus does in the world, aren’t going to get better treatment than Jesus himself. And, remember, Jesus wasn’t out of the manger before the agents of empire were trying to kill him. He hadn’t started to walk, much less talk, before his parents were forced to seek asylum to save his life (Mt 2:13 ff.). And we know that trend continued throughout his life. Even still, Jesus didn’t back down or pipe down but simply continued doing what he had been sent to do. And he was firmly in the prophetic flow of his ancestors like Auntie Esther whose story we heard last week.  Following Jesus, being called to do and to speak and to love as he does, is risky. It is costly. If your Christian faith isn’t making you shift in your seat, re-examine your priorities regularly, sacrifice some time, energy, or money, try something that feels uncomfortable, make space literally or figuratively for people who make you twitchy, and risk losing something for the greater good, then, well, something is missing. Let me interject here—as I know we are all weary and in various stages of grief for so many reasons right now—our faith—of course!—is a source of comfort and encouragement. God’s grace and peace is always available for us. But any kind of “peace” that is pretending there is nothing wrong is not peace. “Peace” achieved by proffering a bland niceness wrapped around simmering resentment, aggravation, dismissiveness, and hatred is not peace. Any “peace” that avoids difficult conversations or avoids naming or changing things so as not to make people angry or uncomfortable is not peace. These and other things are not peace, they are denial, avoidance, and lies. Jesus taught in the beatitudes that peacemakers are blessed. I don’t think he was talking about denial, avoidance, and lies. It’s a different kind of peace that Jesus reveals to us. The next beatitude is instructive: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Mt. 5:10) You see without righteousness, right relationship—justice—there is no peace. No justice. No peace. “Peace” without justice isn’t peace, it’s pretending. //  And understand: the point is not to seek persecution or to stir the pot just to stir the pot.  Jesus wasn’t persecuted because he disturbed the peace in an already peaceful world; Jesus was persecuted because he disturbed the injustice of an unjust world. And he did that in order to make real peace. Jesus comes to disturb anything in the world that keeps people from knowing the fullness of their dignity, value, power, and belovedness. This means—for just one example—that sometimes a gay child will have to challenge the teaching and beliefs of his father and mother in order to live in freedom and in love. Jesus comes to disturb any system or mindset or attitude or practice that would systematically deny anyone their freedom, safety, and daily bread. Sadly, I’ll bet you can come up with myriad examples of that in our world. All of this leads me to imagine Jesus marching down 16th Street, NW in Washington, DC, stepping up to the podium—after spending some time with the folk who are sleeping on the steps of St. John’s Church—and then stepping into a certain kind of prophetic speech, a cadence meant to unsettle and to make a point. Strong language, hyperbolic utterance, hard words tumble forth such that we are left with little doubt that they’ve landed and done their disturbing work. What is getting shaken loose in these words? What is Jesus trying to get through to us?  That there are more important things in life than our own comfort or ease. That we are made for more than looking out for #1. That going along to get along may have its place in small matters, but doing so when some lives are treated as they don’t matter may cost you your soul. The Greek word translated “soul” in verse 28, psuché, is the same word translated “life” in verse 39: “Those who find their life (psuché) will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” Psuché can also be translated as “breath.” Our soul, our life, is breathed into us by God. And Jesus teaches our life is precious, valued—every hair of every head is counted!—and meant and sent to do healing and life-giving things. We were made to love—to love God and to love neighbor. That is the life purpose breathed into everyone. But, this life can be diminished, denied, even lost.  Think of how much true life is lost by those who think they’ve “got the life” and have it all figured out: those who focus only on their own advancement and comfort and are willing to do anything to get it, those whose “smarts” fuel a cynicism that blocks any vision of a new world, much less motivation to work for it, those unwilling to take attention away from managing their own stuff long enough to realize the folks they’re saying should pull themselves up by their bootstraps don’t have boots, folk who don’t bat an eye at the thought of thousands of lives lost to COVID-19 if it means boosting an economy that already benefits those who can comfortably avoid infection as they enjoy the pool at their second or third home. God breathes life into us and sets us in creation and in community to live with and for one another. We have been given a Kin-dom vision for life together that breaks down walls of hatred, tribalism, prejudice, selfishness, and greed. We are given authority and power and grace from Jesus the Christ to live and to share that vision and that life with love, with boldness, with compassion, with courage. Jesus isn’t preaching that we shouldn’t love our parents or that if we mess up we get a star taken off our “worthy” chart. One of the ten commandments is to honor father and mother—and there are plenty of ready examples of God’s unfailing compassion and mercy and love in scripture as well. What Jesus is preaching is that the love and the way of life to which we are called requires something of us that may lead to conflict even within the communities that have raised and formed us: our families, our church, our circle of friends, our nation.  Jesus is preaching that we can live a thin peace that doesn’t “rock the boat” and in the process lose the life we were created to live, the life that is willing to sacrifice something in order to participate in the work of love, compassion, and justice. Martin Niemöller, a Lutheran pastor who initially supported, then opposed the Nazi regime in Germany was imprisoned for 7 years in concentration camps. He wrote the following—with some additions to fit our moment: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.” [Then they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out—because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the unhoused, and I did not speak out—because I was not unhoused. Then they came for LGBTQ people, and I did not speak out—because I was not LGBT or Q. Then they came for black people, indigenous people, and people of color, and I did not speak out because I was not a person of color.] Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Beloved, our loved ones ARE at risk and we are receiving message after message to do something about it. We are being called to rise up in this moment of Spirit-breathed, Spirit-ignited revolution in our city and our nation and in our world—the Pentecost revolution that ignites God’s dream. Today we are given authority and power by the grace of Christ to let go of our fear and find ourselves as agents in the revolutionary dream of God’s all-embracing love unleashed in the world. That will take many forms and each of us will need to discern our particular role.  What are you willing to risk for the sake of the dream? What kind of peace will you pursue? What love will you share and with whom? What are you willing to risk for the sake of others? What are you willing to lose in order to live the life you’re made for? Are you willing to live as if more than your life is at stake? https://foundryumc.org/

Nació en Breslau, Alemania en 1906. Su padre era profesor de psiquiatría y neurología. Su madre fue pianista, descendiente de una familia de teólogos y predicadores. Dietrich Bonhoeffer comienza sus estudios de teología en la Universidad de Tubinga a los 17 años. En 1927, a la edad de 21 años, se doctoró. Su tesis fue considerada por Karl Barth como un milagro teológico. Se opuso abiertamente a la claudicación de las iglesias alemanas frente a Hitler. Participó junto a Karl Barth, Martin Niemöller y otros  En la fundación de la Iglesia Confesante. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial Bonhoeffer desempeñó un papel clave de la resistencia. Se oponía abiertamente al trato que Hitler daba a los judíos. A pesar de que pudo huir a los Estados Unidos decide quedarse en Alemania para seguir luchando Lo arrestaron en abril de 1943. Después de un largo encarcelamiento, el 8 de abril de 1945 se le condenó a la horca. El domingo anterior a su muerte, dirigió un culto a petición de los demás presos. El 9 de abril debió desnudarse para subir al cadalso. Sus últimas palabras fueron: "Este es el fin; para mí el principio de la vida". Un testigo de la ejecución dijo: "Se arrodilló a orar antes de subir los escalones del cadalso, valiente y sereno. En los cincuenta años que he trabajado como doctor nunca vi morir un hombre tan entregado a la voluntad de Dios" 20 días después de su ejecución, los aliados entraron en Berlín. De llegar antes, tal vez lo hubiesen salvado.

Im Frühjahr 1920 trat Martin Niemöller einem Freikorps bei. Wie kam er dazu? „Ich nenne keine Namen“ Der Erzbistum Köln hat die für heute geplante Veröffentlichung einer Untersuchung zu sexuellem Missbrauch abgesagt. Darin sollten Verantwortliche für die Vertuschung genannt werden. Der Forensiker Harald Dreßing leitete die MHG-Studie. Er kritisiert die Alleingänge einzelner Bistümer. Die rechtlichen Probleme bei der Veröffentlichung überraschen ihn nicht. Um Namen nennen zu können, müsse die Politik die Bedingungen klären, sagte er im Gespräch mit Christiane Florin.   Am Mikrofon: Levent Aktoprak

On this day in 1984, Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemöller, a leader in the anti-Nazi Confessing Church, died. He left behind a controversial legacy. How should we regard him today, thirty-six years after his death? Was he a hero? Was he a villain?

Today’s episode filled my history nerd heart full to the brim as I got to talk with the amazing Sarah Sundin. Sarah’s stories breathe life into history and highlight its lessons that we desperately need now. With much humor and wit, Sarah shares with us her journey to becoming an author and how the Lord met her as she lived in, what she calls “the waiting room,” and how he led her to write specifically about World War II.  Sarah’s most recent book is the final installment of her Sunrise at Normandy series which is a masterful blend of soul searching stories and fascinating history all surrounding the Allied invasion at Normandy. D-Day was such a monumental event in history, but it was such a complicated operation. The average person may generally know of its existence, but Sarah peels back the layers to expose the various roles taken on by courageous men and women to bring it to a fruition, then puts skin and bone and heart into those characters as they wrestle with their role in history and their next steps of personal faith.  The pages of scripture are filled with stories that are alive and active, and there is always more to learn from them. We are all called to be lifelong learners. I am so grateful for voices like Sarah’s, that can take Biblical truths, and historical lessons and lay them before our hearts with a call to action. Will we allow our physical or faith history of those who have made us to dictate who we will become and engage the world around us? Or will we follow after God and walk the path He lights before us, no matter how treacherous the way? It is worth it, friends. “Listen!

“There were really only four ways a Jew could hope to survive the Holocaust. You could hope to survive in the concentration camps. You could escape the country or escape the ghetto and live in the forest. You could be hidden out of sight by a christian person or family. The fourth way was to change your identity, obtain false papers, pretend to be catholic, and try to blend into society. And that is how we survived.” Those words come from Holocaust survivor, Irene Skolnick. This past fall, Irene visited our school, PA Distance Learning Charter School, to speak to our students about her life in hiding during the Holocaust. As our school's History of the Holocaust teacher, I see it as my responsibility to bring their learning experiences to life the best I can. Many of our PA Distance students and families traveled across the state to be there for the event, showing just how important learning about the Holocaust from a true survivor was for them.  Irene and her family were forced to lie about their identities and purchase forged passports, just to narrowly avoid being captured or identified countless times throughout the war. Her words sounded like the script of a spy film. Countless times, she and her family, evaded capture, either through the wit and charisma of her father, the quick thinking of her mother, or just plain luck.  Irene states that for decades, she never wanted to share her story. But there came a day that she changed her mind, for two reasons. The first, because of the growth of deniers. The living record of the Holocaust is dying as survivors pass away, and she sees it as her responsibility to speak the truth of what the Nazis did to her. The second, due to the truth behind the words of the well known pastor, Martin Niemöller, transcribed into the poem called First They Came... and her summary of the poem - “bad things happen, when good people are silent”.  Irene Skolnick is the author of In the Shadow of Majdanek: Hiding in Plain Sight. This autobiography details her experiences during the Holocaust even further and you can download her story for free on Kindle! I was able to connect with Irene thanks to the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh.

„Was würde Jesus dazu sagen?“: Ist das naiv und weltfremd – oder fromm und in bestem Sinne christlich? Bis heute ruft dieser Satz unterschiedliche Reaktionen hervor. In die Öffentlichkeit gebracht hat ihn ein Theologe, dem man vieles nachsagen kann – nur nicht Naivität oder weltfremdes Handeln. Martin Niemöller heißt er.

As Party Favorz pushes into summer, we're dropping our annual Beach House edition which is a massive bomb just in time for your 4th of July poolside parties and beach mayhem! This set had been finished over a week ago but new tracks just kept rolling in making me compelled to add them. I generally put out this edition around the holiday. The next Funky House set doesn't usually drop until the end of summer so I was trying to be as epic as possible. EPIC is definitely the word I'd use for this year's Beach House. From Classic House, Piano House, NuDisco, Soulful House, Jackin' House, Deep House, Tech House this set is packed from top to bottom with a wide variety of genres making it a House Music paradise for lovers of all things funky. We have finally reached the pinnacle of Pride month with the official World Pride event in New York and San Franciso that happen to be two of the largest gay meccas in the United States.  I just want to add that don't feel too comfortable with your gay self. If you're not paying attention, our rights are under assault. I'm not trying to be alarmist but the evangelical wing of the Republican party has a firm grip on the majority of states, the Senate and the presidency. You may not think that abortion rights affect you but after that — these pro-birthers will go after contraception and gay marriage. They're already enacting laws in states under the guise of "religious freedom," which is nothing more than a license to discriminate against the LGBTQ community in EVERY facet of life. We're not just talking about employment but housing, medical, public services, and a wide swath of industries that haven't even come on our radar yet.  With a solid majority in the SCOTUS, they've already shown a willingness to strike down Constitutional norms like gerrymandering where states get to choose their voters as opposed to voters choosing their representatives. Make no mistake — WE ARE UNDER ASSAULT. All I ask is that you be mindful of the things going on around you, laws being passed at the state and federal level as well as Individual 1's presidential decrees that often go unnoticed. These things will affect you and your everyday life. Even with all of our disagreements within our own community, let's unite and make these final days of PRIDE count for something more than just celebrating our successes. Stay active, aware, and vigilant.

It's all there. Also, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Daniel L. and Anthony S. for their generous donations.

I just want to leave everyone with a famous quote from Martin Niemöller during the Holocaust: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Paul Axton lectures on the importance of the singular foundation through Niemöller and Bonhoeffer. Paul pictures Christ as the One foundation in I Cor. 3 and indicates even though we may build on this foundation our life may be a futility. The work of the Church at certain periods in history may come to nothing - this is illustrated in the life of Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

The poem that begins “First they came for the socialists, and I did not not speak out --- because I was not a socialist,” goes through a series of other oppressed, but ignored, groups, and ends with, “and then they came for me --- and there was no one left to speak for me,” is one of the most touching and thought-provoking expressions of human and communal responsibility of the 20th Century. It was, of course, said by Pastor Martin Niemöller, a German Lutheran, after the World War II and the Holocaust. But the history of that poem is just as heart-rending, and prompts just as much self-reflection about political and social responsibility as anything that came out of that horrific period. Please listen.

You've probably heard Martin Niemöller's confession: “First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Communist…”

A conversation with Matthew D. Hockenos about the controversial German pastor Martin Niemöller's evolution from a Nazi supporter to a determined opponent of Hitler. Niemöller is well remembered for his quotation: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.   Guest: Matthew D. Hockenos is the Harriet Johnson Toadvine '56 Professor in 20th- Century History at Skidmore College. The author of A Church Divided: German Protestants Confront the Nazi Past. And his latest Then They Came For Me: Martin Niemöller, the Pastor Who Defied the Nazis.    The post Then They Came For Me: Martin Niemöller, the Pastor Who Defied the Nazis appeared first on KPFA.

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. His most memorable quote is a good reflection point as we...

In Episode 13 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg deconstructs Trump's executive order ostensibly ending the policy of family separation on the southern border, and demonstrates how it actually lays the groundwork for indefinite detention of migrants on military bases. The Central American peasantry, expropriated of its lands by state terror, CAFTA and narco-violence, are forced to flee north—now into the arms of Trump's new gulag. The judiciary may yet pose an obstacle to enforcement of Trump's order, but this brings us to the Supreme Court's upholding of Trump's Muslim travel ban grim implications of Justices Anthony Kennedy's imminent resigantion. With Congressional calls mounting for putting off confirmation of Kennedy's replacement while Trump remains under investigation over the 2016 electoral irregularities, a constitutional crisis is imminent. This represents a critical turning point. Immigrants are the proverbial canaries in the American coal-mine. The Trump crew are testing their methods on them because they are vulnerable, and banking on the likelihood that non-immigrants will say "not my problem." But if they get away with what they are doing now to a vulnerable and isolated population of non-citizens, it sets a precedent—and ultimately nobody is safe. Which inevitably brings to mind the famous quote from Martin Niemöller, a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, "First they came for..." Now they are coming for the immigrants—even those who are here legally and have been naturalized, or are serving in the armed forces as a path to citizenship. This is the turning point where an actually fascistic order can be consolidated in the United States. The good news is that Trump's order was a response to popular protest and opposition, But it is imperative that we do not allow it to buy our complacency, but urgently build uncompromising civil resistance.

January 14. On this day in 1892 Martin Niemöller was born.

A social campaign based on Martin Niemöller’s famous dictum First they came… about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. I don’t think that those times are coming back, but I feel a rising wave of, not just xenophobia, but discrimination against everyone perceived as different. As Twain said, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. The public service announcement has been directed by Florian Malak and produced at Moustache Films.
