I was saddened to learn about the death last summer of the Evangelical Christian activist and author Ron Sider (1939–2022). I’ve always found his ideas thought-provoking and have agreed with him in somewhat unexpected ways: https://howardahmansonjr.com/2023/01/ronald-j-sider-1939-2022-on-a-most-conscientious-believer/
