OFN Statement on Education
Today we acknowledge the resignation of Ryan Walters as Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction. His tenure was marked by deep division, a misuse of public office to promote a single religious worldview, and policies that harmed students—particularly queer youth—while leaving Oklahoma’s schools ranked 50th in the nation. His leadership prioritized political ambition over the wellbeing of our children and educators, and our state is better served by his departure.
At the same time, we recognize that Walters did not emerge in isolation. The culture that elevated him into power—one that embraces divisiveness, marginalizes vulnerable communities, and undermines public education—remains present in Oklahoma. His resignation is a welcome step, but it cannot be the conclusion of our work.
As an organization, we remain committed to the ongoing effort of building public schools that are safe, inclusive, and focused on real education. We call on communities, families, and leaders across the state to continue advocating for classrooms where every child can learn, thrive, and be fully themselves.
Today we celebrate this change in leadership. Tomorrow we continue the work of creating an Oklahoma where our children’s futures are not sacrificed to politics, but nurtured with dignity, respect, and opportunity.

OFN Statement on Immigration
At the Oklahoma Faith Network, we believe the current immigration system is deeply broken and in urgent need of moral leadership. Families are being separated, people are living in fear, and even sacred spaces are threatened by unjust enforcement. Our faith compels us not to look away. We must act—advocating for policies that protect human dignity, ensure due process, and offer real pathways to citizenship. Welcoming the stranger isn’t just a moral ideal—it’s a spiritual imperative. In this critical moment in our nation's history, we are calling on people of faith to stand boldly with immigrant communities and to help shape an Oklahoma where justice, compassion, and belonging are not exceptions, but expectations.

New Evolution of Faith Series
In our new series "The Evolution of Faith," we will explore the state of spiritual life in today's culture. Why is attendance and engagement in faith communities so low, and how can we address the impact on our society?
We'll start with this conversation with Rev. Jen Logsdon-Kellogg, a UMC minister who has started holding micro-churches throughout the OKC community. She's gathering people for brunch, for hikes, and wherever they are. It's a new, experimental way to meet people's spiritual needs and provide needed community. Join us!
