Not Political - The Rev. Philip DeVaul

If I want to approach the world through a Christian lens then, before I asked what is conservative or liberal, what is Republican or Democrat, what is libertarian or socialist, what is Red or Blue, what is MAGA or Antifa, I would begin by saying what does it look like to try to create a community, a culture, a country that seeks and serves Christ in every person, that strives for justice and peace, that respects the dignity of every human being? That seems like a fairly good guideline for a Christian approach to morality and humanity. 

So, politics aside, do I believe in heavily armed masked men detaining people in the streets based on their looks, the color of their skin, their accents? Do I believe in families being separated and kept in cages in my country? Do I believe in imprisonment and deportation without due process? Do these things seem moral to me? Do they seem humane?
