Paul Graves<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTruth is always in danger of being sacrificed on the altars of good taste and social stability.\u201d (William Sloan Coffin, \u201cCredo\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, Coffin was being modest about how many altars truth is sacrificed upon \u2013 especially in today\u2019s American upheavals. You\u2019ve likely thought of quite a few \u201caltars\u201d yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American democracy is being seriously challenged. Speaking truth to power is more critical than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phrase \u201cSpeak truth to power\u201d is attributed to a 1942 letter written by Bayard Rustin, a leader in the civil rights movement then. In his letter, his words were clearly stated: \u201cThe truth is that war is wrong.\u201d His example? World War II. Yet how we speak truth to power matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The love of power is not an act of love. The power of fear is not an act of love. The love of fear is not an act of love. Truth speaks most effectively, primarily, through the power of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth that always needs to be spoken \u2013 acted out, written out, voted on \u2013 always has justice as its focus. Conversely, the power truth seeks to hold accountable plays fast-and-loose with matters of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I began this column, we\u2019d just experienced a long Fourth of July weekend with at least 220 persons killed and almost 570 persons wounded. This is according to a report from the Gun Violence Archive, a group that tracks mass shootings (four or more persons killed or wounded, excluding the shooter.) Twenty mass shootings occurred in that time. What\u2019s wrong with this picture? The report is only the most recent dramatic example of how out-of-balance our American society has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I ask: Where are the faith communities when it comes to challenging the status quo, politicians, the national, state and local elected leaders about this safety crisis? And I mean church members and clergy alike! I speak as a Jesus follower, but this goes beyond any specific faith tradition. Yet I hear some Christian people proudly, but erroneously, proclaim that \u201cwe are a Christian nation.\u201d Our country\u2019s founding was more complicated than that mantra suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also fall short simply based on our hypocritical struggles to aspire to be a Christian nation when it comes to working toward justice, like in economic inequity, homelessness, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights. Those injustices deny all faiths\u2019 values, folks, including Christian!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power brokers at all levels of government are often either powerless to make responsible changes, or they don\u2019t actually care to upset their self-serving sense of privileged order. Maybe they can\u2019t listen to a full-on \u201ctruth.\u201d Maybe they choose not to listen. Maybe truth is being whispered too meekly by too few clergy and church members \u2013 and others with hearts for human decency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth speaks at election time when we vote for candidates who do, in fact, believe they are responsible to voters. But candidates also need to speak truth to injustices that reveal themselves in all hot-button issues that demand our attention. When our pieces of \u201ctruth\u201d or \u201cpower\u201d fail to move us toward a more complete experience of justice, we aren\u2019t doing our part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re convinced your truth piece clearly leans toward justice in whatever issue you\u2019re focused on, don\u2019t be shy! \u201cPower\u201d may choose not to listen to you. Still, speak your piece. Live your peace. Do that with as much respect for, and understanding of, the other viewpoint as your moral center contains. But do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are moved by your faith tradition or simply by your deep commitment to loving other human beings \u2013 or both \u2013 speak your truth to power. Don\u2019t stop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>The Rev.
