Christian leaders nationwide have issued a bold statement condemning President Trump’s administration, framing current political tensions as both a crisis of faith and a democratic emergency. The coalition, representing over 400 clergy and scholars, argues that silence equates to complicity amid policies they deem antithetical to Jesus’ teachings. Released during Lent, the letter urges active resistance to what they call “a calculated effort to reverse racial and ethnic diversity” and protect vulnerable communities. Sojourners, a Christian social justice group, spearheaded the effort, criticizing evangelical leaders for unconditionally supporting Trump despite his administration’s actions conflicting with core Christian values.
