  2. "Which means we have to stop pretending we are still in a moment of uncertainty.

    We are not. These are times of moral clarity."

  3. "But when people insist on denying reality and empathy, you do not have an obligation to keep banging your head against a wall and calling it faithfulness. ...

    At this point, people have declared themselves.

    We know where folks stand. Not in theory but in practice.

    The lines are not blurry anymore. They have been drawn, reinforced, and, in many cases, hardened."

  4. "Stop trying to persuade white Christian nationalists.

    Not only are you likely to be unsuccessful, but you are also misdirecting your energy from places that need you.

    This is not giving up on people. It’s setting a boundary.

    You declare where you stand. You remain open to discussing it in good faith."

  5. "The problem isn’t that people are finally hearing a Christian politician talk about justice. The problem is that many of them had to hear it from a white man before they recognized it as Christianity."

  6. Jemar Tisby notes the willingness of many white Christians to welcome a progressive, prophetic form of Christianity when someone like James Talarico preaches it β€” when that progressive, prophetic Christianity has been there all the time, for a very long time, in the Black church. He concludes,

  7. And North Carolina NAACP head and professor in the Practice of Public Theology and Public Policy and founding director of the Center for Public Theology & Public Policy at Yale Divinity School William J. Barber II states,

    "It may take mass call-ins…. It may take mass nonviolent actions. It may take mass pray-ins…. But that's all right. Whatever it takes…. The lies and the greed cannot have the last word."

  8. Speaking of resistance, Dan Froomkin zeroes in on the strong resistance to Musk-Trump being fostered in Black churches, where African Methodist Episcopal bishop Reginald Jackson states,

    "As faith leaders, we must remind our sisters and brothers that resistance is a sacred duty."

  9. The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III on the Marvel character #LukeCage and what he can teach us about where the #blackchurch finds itself today and how it can rise to the moment. buff.ly/4b5NEjd

  10. I'm not anti-theist, but I am a spiritual naturalist. Fifty years ago, William James' Varieties of Religious Experience inspired me to look beyond my culture and appreciate the wisdom and beauty of many supernatural traditions.

    There are Secular Jews who are accepted and respected by their people, so I have always found it odd how the concept of Secular Black people is so often objected to along with a relentless and intellectually dishonest Dignity Politics that doesn't logically conform to values Christ taught.

  11. The moment I demand that another accept as fact, what I chose to believe by faith, I deny them the same freedom to believe or not that I claim for myself.

    The epistemology of supernatural belief (faith) and the epistemology of Naturalism (evidentiary science) are different tools for application in different domains.

    I don't care what religion another subscribes to, What I object to is the implicit coercion of making decisions, laws, policy based on supernatural beliefs in a pluralistic democracy.

    If Claudia Allen chooses to believe scripture is history based on her faith, that is her right of religious freedom, but to propagandize her faith as historic fact to others, is intellectually dishonest and promotes a cultural norm of othering that is irrefutably harmful and destructive to millions of people.

    Why are Black people still Christian?

  12. @RealJournalism
    I was surprised not to have thought of it myself but learned this week that the #Republican party's pivot to being
    anti- #Abortion was the result of a #GOP strategist recommendation -
    The goal was to split #Catholic folks away from the #CivilRights movement

    I see the #Antitrans πŸ’© as a similar wedge, aimed at the #gender - conservative #BlackChurch & #Latinx communities
