The 224-page report recommended the #DOJ issue guidance to promote “an originalist understanding” of how the #Constitution sees the relationship between #religion & #government. The founders had diverse views about the topic, but recent #SCOTUS rulings have suggested a more narrow interpretation of what justices considered constraints on #religious freedom.

The #Trump admin took aim at the #SeparationOfChurchAndState Friday, issuing a draft report from Trump’s “Religious Liberty” Commission that says the separation concept is a legal error‼️🚨 & that Americans should view religion as an “essential support” & always remember “the Creator who made us & bestows our rights.”
[what the fucking fuck???????? What universe is this? How did I get here? Where’s the freaking exit?????]

In den USA ist die New Apostolic Reformation regelmäßig ein Thema, über das kontrovers diskutiert wird. Theologen warnen regelmäßig vor der NAR.
In Deutschland herrscht fröhliches Desinteresse. Auf Konferenzen der NAR erscheinen katholische und evangelische Bischöfe, und kaum wer begreift, von wem er sich da hat einladen lassen. Die NAR ist in Deutschland vor allem als Ökumenische und Gebetsbewegung und in Sachen Lobpreismusik unterwegs. Ein bisschen Sprachengebet, Zeichen und Wunder, Lobpreis, ansonsten modern und locker daherkommen. Unter der buntschillernden Oberfläche dann eine streng konservative Moral, Queerfeindlichkeit ("alle sind willkommen", aber nur, um sich dann von Trans* usw. heilen und exorzieren zu lassen), für eine "christliche Erneuerung der Gesellschaft". Die NAR passt sich an den konservativen Mainstream der Kirchen und Freikirchen an, verspricht Modernisierung, liefert aber unbemerkt ein falsches Evangelium, das in die Kirchen eindringt.
Zu wenige verstehen, was die NAR ist und was sie will. Kritik kommt fast nur aus der evangelikalen und pfingstkirchlichen Ecke, bezieht sich aber vor allem auf die Theologie der NAR wie ihre Christologie und ihre Sonderlehren wie Dominionismus oder "Claim it, take it", nicht aber auf die Menschenfreundlichkeit der NAR, auf 8hre Abwertung geschlechtlicher und sexueller Minderheiten, Muslime usw. Zu oft teilen sie die Ethik der NAR, etwa die Ablehnung von Trans*, wenn aich theologisch anders begründet.
Die meisten legen die NAR einfach unter "Evangelikale" ab und verstehen nicht, dass die NAR eine eigene gefährliche Weltanschauung entwickelt hat, die weit über alles Evangelikale hinausgeht und gezielt bekämpft werden muss.
Auch die meisten Evangelikalen oder Fteikirchler durchschauen meiner Erfahrung nach die NAR nicht, ihre Besonderheiten, die eine Gefahr für die Kirchen und für die Demokratie darstellen.
Die NAR ist so schlimm wie die AfD!
Ich bin müde, immer wieder darüber zu schreiben. Erschöpft.

Ich denke darüber nach, ob es sinnvoll ist, bei den US-Evangelikalen zwischen klassischen (oft auch Schwarzen) Evangelikalen und (meist weißen, nationalistischen und ultrarechten) Neo-Evangelikalen zu unterscheiden.
Zwischen Letzteren und der New Apostolic Reformation gibt es eine große Schnittmenge.
Dann gibt es freilich noch die meist linken Post-Evangelikalen (Sojourners, Red Letter Christians usw.).
One senior #Vatican official familiar with internal assessments of the meeting called it “unusual” & not “a walk in the park.” It was “a frank & direct dialogue on issues where the distance between the Vatican & the #US is evident & clear,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal assessments.

During the discussion, the small group of #Pentagon & #Vatican officials discussed their differing views of current events, according to people on both sides with knowledge of the conversation. What is less clear is how adversarial the meeting was.

The issue had split the lower courts. An appeals court in #Florida found a set of similar local laws restricting #therapy in the #state was unconstitutional. A divided panel of the US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit sided with #Colorado, finding that talk therapy provided by a #MentalHealth professional is a #medical treatment that can be #regulated as part of the state licensure process.

In general, the #FirstAmendment prevents the government from restricting #speech because it dislikes the content or message. But #SCOTUS has said certain restrictions aimed at governing a person’s conduct are permissible even if they incidentally burden speech. [if those restrictions adhere to the justices’ own ideologies.]

“I don’t approve of cramming your #religious faith down people’s throats, & when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-#Christian tone, it flies in the face of the #FreedomOfReligion that the #Constitution enshrines & that our men & women in uniform sign up to defend.”

“The Secretary’s prayer services undoubtedly improve morale for those who choose to attend & are constitutionally protected. No special treatment or punishment is given as a result of one’s choice to attend these prayer services.” [sure, Jan.]

Ret Army Maj Gen Randy Manner, who was second-in-command at the #NationalGuard 2011–2012, has worked in recent years to train hundreds of #interfaith #military #chaplains. Manner said he has talked with “dozens & dozens” of active-duty chaplains in recent weeks who say those who don’t identify with #Hegseth “are being marginalized.”

The Pentagon’s shift from previous historical norms is dangerous, according to multiple former high-ranking #military officials, heads of #chaplain corps, some #veterans groups, current #Pentagon staff & current officers, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution from the #Trump admin.

His social media profile & public comments routinely espouse *his* understanding of #Christianity, which is one that would dominate American life & cast those who disagree with him as God’s enemies. #Hegseth has brought clergy from his small Christian denomination to preach at the #Pentagon, including a prominent pastor who says #women shouldn’t have the right to #vote.

Rather than boosting cohesion through a more universal spiritual uplift, they say, the new approach violates the #Constitution & undermines the bonds of mutual #respect between #troops that are essential, especially in #wartime.
Every month at the #Pentagon, #Hegseth hosts #evangelical worship services that #legal experts say are unprecedented.

And as chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff in the late 2000s, with #troops in Iraq & Afghanistan, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen kept Mass off his public schedule, aiming to keep the particulars of his Catholic faith private.
But those longtime norms are being upended by the #proselytizing #Christian campaign of #Defense Sec Pete #Hegseth, say multiple former high-ranking #military officials & experts on #religion & #law.

Ich glaube, dass besonders die Kombination eines rechtskonservativen Christentums und der New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) die größte Bedrohung ist, die derzeit aus christlicher Richtung droht.
In den USA hat die NAR - aktuell die am stärksten wachsende christliche Bewegung - 33-35 Millionen Anhänger, praktisch alles weiße Trump-Unterstützer aus vielen Denominationen. Auch in Deutschland gewinnen sie zunehmend Einfluss, allerdings ohne dass hierzulande auch nur im Ansatz bekannt ist, wofür die NAR steht, was sie will, wo sie aktiv ist. Sie steht politisch sowohl dem rechten Flügel der Union als auch der AfD nahe und hilft, zwischen Union und AfD einerseits und MAGA andererseits Bande zu knüpfen. Sie wirbt für die Abwehr von erneuerbarer Energie, Ruckkehr zu fossiler und Kernenergie, für einen Abbau des Sozialstaates, Abbau der Arbeitnehmerrechte, Leugnung der Klimakatastrophe, hin zur "Technologieoffenheit" (denn Gott wird uns rechtzeitig die besten Technoligien offenbaren). Kl8ngt vertraut, nicht wahr?
Deutsche Bischöfe nehmen an Konferenzen aus dem NAR-Umfeld teil (UNUM24 usw.), aber sie scheinen gar nicht zu realisieren, worauf sie sich einlassen. Die Gefahr, die von der NAR ausgeht, wird nicht erkannt, man packt die NAR unter das Label "Evangelikale" und denkt, damit sei alles gesagt (wobei die NAR streng genommen nicht evangelikal, sondern neocharismatisch ist, mit Einflüssen der Glaubensbewegung und des Wohlstandsevangeliums).
Aber die NAR ist eine Sekte, deren ganzes Handeln letztlich darauf zielt, die Erde für die Wiederkunft Jesu, die Endzeit, die Apokalypse vorzubereiten. Das geht aber nur, wenn vorher z.B. alle trans Menschen verschwunden sind, um nur eine Forderung herauszustellen. (Warum Jesus nicht wiederkommen kann, wenn hier noch trans Personen freinleben, ist eine interessante Frage - Jesus scheint on den Augen der NAR in seiner Macht stark vom Tun der Menschen abhängig zu sein, auch von deren Gebet und "spiritueller Kriegsführung").
Hinweis: Die NAR hat nichts mit der Neuapostolischen Kirche NAK zu tun. Zwei ganz verschiedene Bewegungen.

"While many may celebrate so-called successes gained for women over the last 30 years, one must ask what defines true success for women?" she began, adding that "biological reality is rooted in scientific truth & is confirmed by the universal truths that we are endowed by our Creator who made us 'male & female.'"

In August 2020, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del, & 4 other Democratic senators issued a letter labeling Kozma & several other political appointees at #USAID as "prejudiced" & called for them to be removed from their posts. Kozma has "spoken extensively & derisively of #trans people & trans issues," the senators wrote.

"This radical agenda of subjective 'gender fluidity' & unrestricted shower & bathroom access actually endangers all," she stated, noting that "predators" could abuse the policy.
