U.S. lawmakers urge Trump to press China’s president on Jimmy Lai case
A year on from the dismantling of USAID
On April 27th, I published Tearing the Seamless Garment: USAID as a Pro-Life Reckoning for American Catholics on Liturgy and Truth. That essay had taken shape over several weeks of reading and prayer, beginning with Nicholas Enrich’s harrowing book Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower’s Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID, which had appeared in mid-April. Enrich, the senior USAID official whose internal memos warned in writing of the deaths the dismantling would cause, laid out the moral and administrative facts with a clarity I had not expected. My essay attempted to do what his account compelled: to bring the Catholic moral tradition — particularly Cardinal Bernardin’s consistent ethic of life — to bear on what had been done to USAID, and to ask honestly what American Catholics, who had voted decisively for the administration that did it, now owe to those whose deaths they had unintentionally helped to make possible.
The essay was, by necessity, prospective in its empirical core. The peer-reviewed projections in The Lancet told us what would happen if the dismantling was carried through. The Enrich memos told us what those inside the agency had warned would happen. The hard counting of bodies — children who would not be vaccinated, mothers who would die in childbirth, tuberculosis patients whose treatment regimens would be interrupted — had only just begun.
It is no longer prospective.

San Diego Japanese Christian Church
OMS Holiness Church of North America
San Diego Japanese Christian Church (SDJCC) is here to share the good news that a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord is the key to abundant living in today’s world. Our church was founded as an outreach to Japanese speaking farmers in San Diego County over 80 years ago. SDJCC now has English and Japanese speaking ministries. It’s easy to miss, tucked away at the elbow of 19th and E streets just above Interstate 5: the Japanese American Christian Church in Golden Hill. You’d most likely drive past this humble place of worship on the way up Broadway without noticing it, but if you happened to be on a stroll down E Street looking at the nice old houses, you’d stumble upon it after the bigger homes give way to a series of California bungalows. It’s there before E turns right into 19th. Across the street from the church, a chain-link fence lines the sidewalk above the 5 where the homeless set up camp on a regular basis before they are swept out and relocated only to return again when the police shift their attention elsewhere. Historically, the church itself is a product of a relocation of a different sort. As my City College colleague, historian Susan Hasegawa informed me, it was originally founded as the Japanese Holiness Church by Christian Nikkei (immigrants and their descendents) in 1930 and located on Newton Avenue. Sponsored by the Oriental Mission Society, the church focused its efforts on outreach to Issei (first generation immigrant) farmers.

Christ United Presbyterian Church of San Diego
What Is The Presbyterian Church (USA)
Christ United Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Rev. Dr. Kerry Allison is the pastor of this parish church in South Park. We were established in 1981 when an invitation was extended to two churches—Brooklyn Heights Presbyterian, established in 1921 and the Golden Hill Presbyterian, established in 1956—to merge and each church accepted. The late Reverend Doctor George Walker Smith founded Golden Hill Presbyterian Church in 1956 with support from the Presbyterian Women organization. The church, located at 22nd and Market in South Park, became a human rights leader in San Diego as the congregation grew. Reverend Smith was the first black school board member in San Diego. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Christ United continues its ministry in power and presence to the present day. All are welcome to join us in worship and togetherness.

Alfred Street Baptist Church 05.10.2026
Alfred StreetBaptist Church (Alexandria, Virginia)
Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley, Pastor
Alfred Street Baptist Church traces its origins to 1803, during the period when Thomas Jefferson served as the third president of the United States. At that time, Baptists in Northern Virginia worshipped at the Backlick Baptist Church on Little River Turnpike. However, in April 1803, members from Alexandria, Virginia separated from them to form the Alexandria Baptist Society. Susan Black, a Negro slave was baptized as its first colored member in May 1803, and soon other coloreds were invited to join this integrated group. In 1806, the colored members formally established the Colored Baptist Society of Alexandria as a ‘conjoined’ church with the Alexandria Baptist Society. This created the first black Baptist church north of Richmond, Virginia. In 1815, its numbers grew when slaves from Mount Vernon Plantation joined the Colored Baptist Society. During 1818, members of the Colored Baptist Society were able to rent property at 313 South Alfred Street to hold their meetings. After 18 years of renting, they purchased the site in September 1842.
