It’s About Time…

NANMYKEL.COM

At last some publicity for positive action from Christian groups! Apparently the positive efforts from Christians against Christian Nationalism have gone largely unacknowledged. About his own article by Daily Kos staff writer wesmorgan1, he says:

One of the common arguments found here at Daily Kos is that US liberal/progressive religious believers in general, and US Christians in particular, aren’t “fighting back” against the Religious Right and Christofascists in theological terms.

That’s a false perception, and it’s exacerbated by the lack of media coverage of such actions when they occur. It isn’t just a question of denominational entities like the LCMS; when’s the last time we saw significant media mention of Lutherans for Social Justice, Christians Against Christian Nationalism, Evangelicals for Democracy, the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, or any other religious group fighting the good fight?

We need an Ocean Treaty – like, yesterday

Petchary's Blog

This time, it’s got to work.

Our oceans are facing an unbelievable array of challenges, and I think we know them by now: pollution, over-fishing, the many manifestations of climate change, and now the threat of deep sea mining. It’s urgent.

So, the final negotiations for aUN Ocean Treatyresumed on Monday, February 20, 2023 in New York. This is the Fifth Session of the Intergovernmental Conference, after the Fourth Session in New York ended in March, 2022without agreement. In other words, the 50 High Ambition Coalition countries failed in their promise of an Ocean Treaty last year. In Montréal in December 2022, 190 countries agreed on the “30×30” target, which is to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 – an encouraging agreement, indeed.
