“The idea of developing Christian doctrine may seem strange to those who believe firmly in God’s revelation of himself through Christ, given once and for all. But theology, don’t forget, is not synonymous with God’s revelation itself; rather, theology is our human understanding of God’s revelation and our effort to express it clearly in teaching and preaching.”
― Bruce L. Shelley, Church History in Plain Language

“and I would be voting to impeach a president who was a member of my party. I needed to explain why. I knew that what I was about to do would likely have negative political consequences for me in Wyoming. But there was no question what my oath required.”

“The next day, Phil, the kids, and I went to my parents’ house for a New Year’s Day lunch. As we were leaving, my father came outside to the driveway. He walked around to the passenger side of my car and gave me a hug. Then he looked at me and with steel in his voice said, “Defend the republic, daughter.” “I will, Dad,” I said. “Always.”

“A short while later, just after 5:30 p.m. on Monday, January 12, I sent this statement to my colleagues: On January 6, 2021, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death, and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic. Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the President.”
