Description: Susan Russell argues that in an age of a spreading "veracity virus" of lies and half-truths in public discourse, Christians are called by Jesus's warning that 'whoever is dishonest in little will be dishonest in much' to tell the whole truth, even the uncomfortable parts, and to let that truth-telling drive them toward justice, inclusion, and beloved community.
