While The Troth recognizes the complexity of the immigration issue, the organization condemns the separation of families and the incarceration of children. We call upon Congress and the White House to end this inhumane policy, to stop using these children to score political points, and to work together to develop sensible immigration laws.

There has been a lot of noise lately about the use of runes in the Norwegian Olympic team sweater.  The objection is that two runes are displayed on the sweater, Tiwaz and Elhaz, the runes for Tyr/victory and elk/protection, had been used by the Nazi’s for certain specific groups and programs (leadership school for Tiwaz, and birth/death announcements for Elhaz).

What is Frith Forge?

The recommendation of the Scholarship Committee (Chaired by Ryan Denison) is to give Brodin Jones the 2017 Troth Scholarship toward his studies in Nursing. His cover letter and essay are exemplary. His goal is to be a part of a system to help mentally disabled persons from a young age. This truly is a noble goal!

The Rede has approved this recommendation and is awarding Brodin $1,500 from our Scholarship Fund.

Thank you to all who have contributed to that fund over the years.
