Did the Greeks Predict Democracy’s Dark Side?

Turns out, the ancient Greeks had some serious warnings about democracy! They loved the idea of 'power to the people,' but even back then, thinkers like Dio Chrysostom and Plato worried it could get messy—think mob rule and bad decisions. Only a small group could actually vote, and critics pointed out that democracy sometimes led to some pretty harsh choices. Makes you wonder: are we repeating history, or have we learned from their mistakes? #Religion #HistoryRepeats #DemocracyDebate

Underwater Christ Gets a Spa Day!

Did you know Italy’s famous underwater Christ statue just got a deep clean? Police divers used water jets (not brushes!) to blast off crusty sea critters—no harm to the statue or the fishy fans watching nearby. This bronze beauty off Portofino is a top dive spot, and the annual cleaning keeps it looking epic for snorkelers, kayakers, and paddleboarders. Fun fact: it’s made from melted-down WWII medals and ship parts! #Religion #Italy #TravelGoals

Ann Arbor church closes shelter over safety fears

First United Methodist Church in downtown Ann Arbor has stopped allowing people to sleep outside its building at night, citing serious safety and sanitation issues. The decision came after staff had to clean up bodily waste and witnessed public urination near a preschool playground, raising big concerns for children’s safety. While the church has long supported those experiencing homelessness, leaders say they’re struggling to balance compassion with the need to protect everyone on site. The outdoor shelter space is set to reopen in October, but this move highlights the growing challenges around homelessness in our community. What do you think is the best way to keep everyone safe and cared for? #Religion #AnnArbor #Homelessness

Buffalo’s St. Luke’s faces winter crisis

St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy on Buffalo’s East Side is urgently rallying support to fix its failing heating system. The nearly century-old building’s steam pipes are so worn out that leaders fear it might not survive another winter—putting vital services for neighbors at risk. After the recent loss of beloved co-founder Amy Betros, the mission’s new director is calling on the community to help raise $326,000 for repairs. St. Luke’s has been a lifeline for so many, like Francisco Lopez, who went from homeless to volunteer thanks to their support. How can we come together to keep this essential place open? #Religion #Buffalo #CommunitySupport
