Responding to Francis Schaeffer’s criticism of Trump

To the editor:

As a Christian, if my choices for president were Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I would vote for Donald Trump any day [“Son of Francis Schaeffer calls out Trump’s evangelical enablers on Twitter”]. He may have a foul mouth, but at least he has some moral base that Mrs. Clinton has not shown. We have watched her from the 1990s and each time she comes up short. Mr. Trump has gotten more done in this past year than most of his predecessors and brought this nation back to becoming great again.

I pray for him every day and I have seen a turnaround in him spiritually. Are you praying for him as you are told to do in the biblical book of Timothy? I notice that you are a Democrat. Not surprising. Weren’t you raised in Switzerland?

Embracing the power of story

We share a new series in BNG’s Storytelling Projects about Southeast Kentucky as part of our "Resilient Rural America" theme.

"The families that I work with are not hopeless. Sometimes they feel helpless, but everyone needs a little help sometimes."
Poverty is not part of your culture, character or identity.
The challenges of life in southeast Kentucky merely augment the effects of the natural misfortunes we all face.

Living in poverty is hard work

We created Storytelling Projects because we believe stories, rooted in the Jesus Story, have the power not only to inform but to transform people and communities. They can be sources of spiritual insight, imagination, creativity and hope for all who seek justice and mercy.
