How a dad shapes his daughter’s lifelong relationship with love
I couldn’t help but wonder if somehow, perhaps unconsciously, the father I loved and admired had somehow set me up for a life of questionable romantic attractions. There’s quite a bit of research that indicates that may be true. In fact, there’s been an increase in studies in recent years on how fathers impact their children in general – from language development to depression. It’s just as bad if fathers are physically present but emotionally absent. “The daughter who has a fulfilling relationship with her father is usually more trusting, more secure and more satisfied in her romantic relationships than the daughter with troubled or distant relationship with her dad,” regardless of whether her parents are married or divorced, according to Linda Nielsen, a professor of education and adolescent psychology at Wake Forest and an expert in father-daughter relationships.

Congress approves $25 billion in rental assistance. Here’s how to apply

What a Democratic-controlled Congress could mean for renters struggling amid the pandemic
With Democrats securing a majority in the Senate, a number of relief measures targeted at renters struggling amid the pandemic – including a right to counsel for those facing eviction and a larger pot of money for back rent – now have a better chance of materializing. “Democrats have a rare opportunity to directly and swiftly end the eviction crisis and prevent severe harm to renters and landlords nationwide,” said Emily Benfer, a visiting law professor at Wake Forest University.

Are ads against Ga. Senate candidate also an attack on Black churches
Steve Inskeep on NPR’s “Morning Edition talks to Jonathan Lee Walton, dean of Wake Forest School of Divinity, about the political ads taken out against Georgia Senate runoff candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock. “It’s about keeping track of the most vulnerable in society. I believe that Raphael Warnock is standing on the shoulders of those like Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., like Reverend A.D. Williams, Martin Luther King Jr.’s grandfather, all of these towering progressive pastors that have been in this grand lineage of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta,” Walton said.

“We don’t have much in the way of precedent for determining how the public tends to view these challenges,” said John Dinan, a political science professor at Wake Forest. “The one thing that can be said with near certainty is that this year’s challenge by some Republican (congressional) members to multiple states’ electoral votes in the 2020 election is bound to be unsuccessful, just as Democratic (congressional) members’ challenge to Ohio’s electoral votes after the 2004 election was ultimately unsuccessful, given the lack of sufficient support in Congress for these challenges.”

How attacks on a Georgia Senate candidate exposed wider misunderstandings about the Black church
“Black communities of faith have always been at the forefront of emancipating American democracy and expanding narrow notions of freedom,” said Jonathan Lee Walton, the Dean of Wake Forest School of Divinity. “At their best…they’ve constituted a moral conscience of this nation. When you hear preachers like Raphael Warnock challenge this nation, it’s not based upon some level of a lack of patriotism; to the contrary, it’s American as the stars and stripes.”
