Paula White stated, 'No one has paid the price like you have paid the price.' She emphasized that Trump faced betrayal and false accusations, similar to Jesus, and that his journey reflects a divine plan.

The law says consent cannot truly be given in those circumstances due to the power imbalance, and it also applies to a professor and a student, or a boss and an employee, or a therapist and a client.

That was my freshman bill. The following year, the state passed my bill to expand housing assistance vouchers from three to six months for people released from prison.

Companies with a higher number of women in senior roles are significantly more likely to dismiss male perpetrators of abuse against female colleagues, according to recent analysis.

The purpose of everyday practices in ancient contexts is not easy to discern because contemporary, local folk have no need to talk about why they are doing what they are doing. This is perhaps especially true when it comes to attire related to decency.

The 135-year-old building has remained shrouded by plywood to protect passersby from the crumbling stone, which has formed a reddish beach on the shed below. The church's congregation dwindled to 12 members and had to fire its pastor to save money.

On Ash Wednesday, 2026, two Roman Catholic priests and a religious sister entered an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, to celebrate Mass with detainees inside. It might seem like a simple, routine event: a religious service to mark the start of Lent. But the Mass represented a legal win for the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, based in Chicago.

I could have decided to live in a grey area and lead a double life, as perhaps other priests do. But at a certain point, I realized that it wasn't right. I don't agree with celibacy or the doctrine that supports it.

When women actively support one another by sharing information, recommending colleagues for opportunities, and amplifying achievements, they help counterbalance these structural disadvantages. These behaviours reflect what psychologists often describe as prosocial leadership—using one's position or influence to help others succeed.

Church House has provided a veneer of spiritual legitimacy to Reform's anti-migrant and anti-Muslim politics, and their cynical scapegoating. As followers of Jesus, we must refuse to let the architecture of [the venue be used as a moral backdrop for policies that contradict the very heart of the Christian faith].

Catch up quick: President Trump created the White House Faith Office by executive order on Feb. 7, 2025, placing it within the Domestic Policy Council and moving it into the White House complex. The move was designed to signal a "direct line" between people of faith and the executive branch. Unlike the versions under prior administrations, which were often situated in agencies or outside the immediate West Wing orbit, this office is central to Trump's "religious freedom" agenda.

Historically, architectural culture has been organized around narratives of singular authorship and individual recognition. These frameworks often obscure the collaborative nature of design and marginalize contributors who do not occupy positions of institutional authority. Women architects have long participated in shaping buildings, cities, and architectural discourse, yet their work has frequently been overlooked or attributed to partners, firms, or broader teams.

Anne Hutchinson (1591-1643) was a religious reformer, Puritan dissident, midwife, and alleged prophetess whose beliefs and influence brought her into conflict with the magistrates of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, especially its governor, John Winthrop (1588-1649), in 1636-1638. She was the central voice of the so-called Antinomian Controversy, which divided the colony and, to the magistrates, threatened its mission and continued existence.

BBC Jodie was surrounded by smiling faces at her 21st birthday party, but most were people she had not known for more than a month. The party had been organised for her by the London International Christian Church - a Bible-based non-denominational church, according to their website - into which she had recently been baptised. She was told by her "discipler", or church mentor, she says, that she could not invite any friends from outside the church - only a handful of family members.

In the aftermath of Alex Pretti's killing in Minneapolis, my Instagram algorithm served up a never-ending carousel of sizzling rage. Most of that rage was directed toward the country's immigration-enforcement agencies, while some, of course, was aimed at defending them. But I wasn't expecting the post from Blake Guichet. "There's a difference between compassion that is grounded and compassion that is hijacked," Guichet, a pro-Trump Christian influencer who posts on Instagram under the handle "thegirlnamedblake," had typed on butter-yellow slides.

The new archbishop of Canterbury has pledged to rebuild trust and confidence in the way the Church of England deals with the abuse of children and vulnerable adults, saying that in the past it has fallen tragically short. Sarah Mullally told a meeting of the C of E's ruling body, the General Synod, that proper independence would be central to the way the church dealt with allegations of abuse on her watch as archbishop.

"No, not yet. I am waiting until I am serious with someone, and until then, I am only doing oral and mutual masturbation. My reply, "That is sex!" This usually gets a response of, "Well, I meant f*cking," which they equate to sex. Nothing else. I have to remind my clients that fellatio and cunnilingus is called "oral sex" for a reason. That is still sex."

Church of England clergy will be encouraged to promote antiracism in sermons as senior figures unlock thousands of pounds in funding to promote diversity initiatives in London. Church Commissioners, the body that manages C of E assets, is funding the Diocese of London, which covers more than 400 parishes and 18 boroughs north of the River Thames, to boost inclusion work as part of the three-year Racial Justice Priority (RJP) project.

Since its founding, Supermajority has contacted more than 20 million women voters, organizing for candidates including Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, as well as for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' unsuccessful presidential bid last year. The group plans to connect its volunteers with other organizations that do grassroots organizing work, starting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
