White Christians in America once responded to immigration with "home missions" to welcome (and seek to convert) their new neighbors as the "mission field" came to our shores. It had it's problems, but it sure beats what we have now.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

The same Trump administration that has declared every non-MAGA religion to be "anti-Christianity" and, therefore, "terrorist," is also claiming that it is "saving God." Making Blasphemy Great Again.
