  • Stop the Global Warming Train

    I’m grateful this morning for the weather.  There’s been plenty of rain in the past few days.  The sun is out now, along with the clouds, and there’s a nice, cool breeze.  Mmmmm.  Lovely. I’m grateful that we have weather at all.  I’m grateful for the exquisitely balanced climate system, which has evolved along with…

  • A Call to Resist

    Chris Hedges has again issued a call to conversion, a call to leave behind the moral inertia that the global system of corporate domination instills in its subjects, a call to rise up for the sake of life.  He says, “It is time to build radical mass movements that defy all formal centers of power…

  • 127 Years is Enough

    All of the issues that I write about are tied together and exacerbated by growing corporate power.  Huge transnational corporations now dominate nature, culture, political systems, and the rule-making institutions of the global economy.  As an antidote, I support the movement to Amend the Constitution to make it clear that corporations should not have constitutional…

  • A Moment of Profound Choice

    We are at the beginning of a new era in the earth’s history. Humanity has reached a crossroads, a moment of profound choice between two incompatible futures. One direction seems almost inevitable: the world’s dominant institutions and prevailing ideologies are driving at an ever-accelerating speed toward a market-based future dominated by corporations. The billboards along…

  • Children, Earth Day, and Activism

    “The kinship that children feel for animals and their ongoing disappearance from us literally brought me to my knees that night, on a sidewalk in my own village. It was love that got me back up. It was love that brought me to this jail cell.”                   …

  • Speaking Peace on Palm/Passion Sunday

    This blog post is taken from the speech that Sharon gave at a Tour de Peace event with Cindy Sheehan in Nevada City, California, on Palm/Passion Sunday, March 24, 2013. Hi friends.  It’s good to be here with all of you.  I’m so glad to be part of a community of people who are passionate…

  • Jesus, Temptation, and Worldly Power

    The temptation of Jesus.  This story comes around each year on the first Sunday of Lent- the story of Jesus’ encounter with the devil and his struggle with temptation.  I have preached on this story many times, for instance, in “Struggling in the Wilderness of Our Souls.” This story is about identity, authenticity, discernment, resistance,…

  • Corporate Globalization and God’s Good Creation

    I have contributed several times to Tikkun Daily, an Interfaith online blog.  I was recently invited to be one of their regular authors.  Here is what I wrote to introduce the topics I will cover: As a new Tikkun Daily author, this is an introduction to the themes I will cover in my postings to…

  • Amend the Constitution to Limit Corporate Power

    Tonight is the first 2013 meeting of our local Nevada County Move to Amend coalition.  We are part of a national coalition that is working to pass a constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate personhood and make clear that money is not the same as free speech. Why get back to work on this issue? We’ve…

  • Drones and Space Warfare

    People who are concerned about the increasing use of unmanned drones by the United States point to the immorality of killing people without due process, the loss of innocent life, and the illegality of targeted assassinations.  I raise an additional concern:  the use of drones as an integral part of a plan by the United…
