William Barr and his anti-American TRUMPED inquisition must be stopped

I began my life in a right-wing evangelical fundamentalist cult, started by my famous evangelical father, Francis Schaeffer. When I say, ‘a cult,’ I mean something outside of the religious mainstream that became a personality cult. Sound familiar?

Fast forward to today, where we have Donald Trump as president, partly as a result of what I and my family did to turn the Republican Party into a litmus test for Evangelical social causes; anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-abortion, anti-freedom, and positively racist in terms of the white-school movement and the work against integration.

I repented of that past a long time ago and for more than 30 years, I have been trying to undo the damage that my family did and tell the truth about the right-wing that I come from and know all too well.

So please believe me when I tell you that Attorney General William P. Barr and his anti-American TRUMPED inquisition must be stopped!

Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend’s death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God—an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with a lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. Available now at Amazon.

In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a bohemian novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshipping” Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the United States Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family’s experience of the Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. Available now at Amazon.
