Religion does not have to be separated from politics! The American Revolution was about getting the State out of the way of the Church, freeing it to benefit culture, education & morality.
Each summer, our initiative, @TheCRCD, invests in the next generation of liberty-minded leaders through the Shaftesbury Fellowship. This year’s Fellows enjoyed learning about religious liberty in American history from @IVMiles.

National-survey evidence on time use and sexual behavior is consistent with the iPhone reducing in-person interactions, increasing pornography use, and reducing sexual frequency."

This article extolling "Christian empire" almost flowed until it started defending Belgian King Leopold II, whose atrocities were exposed by American Presbyterian missionaries among others. No thanks. americanreformer.org/2026/06…
