Statement by YDS Dean Greg Sterling.
-----
We are relieved that two members of the YDS community, Rev. William Barber and Rev. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, are safe and unharmed following their arrest while praying in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday. We applaud them for their courage in standing up for Christian values and doing so in accordance with the venerable tradition of nonviolent action.

Finally, with a hundred thousand dead, two thirds of the buildings bombed, all the hospitals and infrastructure destroyed, more than a million people on the verge of starvation, and Israel's leadership even more openly bragging about their intent to ethnically cleanse the area, it's gone on "too long".
Well done Lammy and Starmer. You finally noticed eh?
So trade deal talks are off, and weapons export licenses are... Well. We'll see. "Always Under Review" they say.
And the main reason for the slight and tiny change in emphasis? Mostly Trump. They are following Trump. They feel easier criticizing Israel's genocide now Trump looks easier with it.

Following the election of Robert Prevost as the new Pope today, YDS asked professor Teresa Berger for perspective. Teresa Berger is Professor of Liturgical Studies and Thomas E. Golden Jr. Professor of Catholic Theology.
