Birth Pangs of a New America (US)

This Patheos blog post by Dorian Scott Cole argues that current political divisions in the US are "birth pangs" leading to positive change. Cole uses the example of Jesus' interactions with the Romans to advocate for peaceful coexistence and non-confrontational approaches to resolving conflict, citing the example of Bishop Mariann Budde's approach to President Trump. Furthermore, the post draws parallels to the Chilean resistance under Pinochet, highlighting the importance of decentralized organizing and mutual aid.
