This week at The Visionary, we're examining who writes the rules we all abide by. From a controversial law in Florida that could send teachers to prison for accidentally showing students books with gay themes, to a team of clergy battling Missouri's strict abortion restrictions, to Pope Francis calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide, religion and lawmaking are feeling increasingly intertwined.
Pope Francis declared that being gay should "not a crime" and is calling for an end to anti-gay laws worldwide. But don't get too excited, he says it's still a sin. Oh, and some Catholics aren't happy.
An interfaith alliance of clergy in Missouri are uniting behind a legal challenge to the state's abortion restrictions, arguing that they impose evangelical Christianity on the people without consent.
School teachers and librarians in Florida are physically covering up or removing every single book in their classrooms out of fear of felony prosecution. A controversial new obscenity law could result in a prison sentence for any educator who exposes children to "inappropriate" books (apparently pretty much any ones that mention the existence of LGBTQ+ people).
God = Water? A viral video explores the idea that God is actually water, and thus, all around us - in the clouds above, the earth below, and even in our own bodies. Over on Facebook, our ministers explored the thought provoking theory.
