Rev. Darrell Goodwin: Rev. William Barber Arrested in Capitol Rotunda After Praying Against Republican-Led Budget

The madness of these times makes my heart hurt!

May Reverend Barber inspire us all!!

The prophets were never popular. They were arrested, exiled, and silenced—yet they spoke anyway.

Yesterday, Rev. Dr. William Barber was arrested in the Capitol Rotunda—for praying. For daring to declare that a budget which abandons the poor is a moral failure. For reminding this nation that justice is not optional—it is divine demand.

Make no mistake: the cost of speaking truth is rising. But the cost of silence is far greater.

This is not a time for comfort. It is a time for courage.
This is not a time for retreat. It is a time for resistance.
Let the Church not be found sleeping while prophets are dragged from the temple.

Justice is God’s call. Risk is the price. Faithfulness is our response.

— Rev. Darrell Goodwin
