The (Presbyterian) church rejects any ideology that seeks to establish Christianity as a privileged or dominant force through the power of the state, or that conflates religious identity with national, racial, or ethnic supremacy. Such ideologies, in all their forms, are incompatible with the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, constitute a theological error, undermine the church’s faithful witness, and are contrary to the church.

Author Holly Berkley Fletcher joins the conversation to unpack the complexities of white evangelicalism and the experiences of missionary kids. Her book, The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism, offers a powerful critique. On this #PCUSA podcast, Simon and Lee explore how mainline Protestant missionary work compares, while also confronting the harm it has caused in global contexts—and acknowledging Presbyterian complicity in these endeavors.

CW: Christianity, confession
Meant to post this yesterday: His suffering makes the church sensitive to all human suffering so that it sees the face of Christ in the faces of persons in every kind of need. His crucifixion discloses to the church God’s judgment on the inhumanity that marks human relations, and the *awful consequences of the church’s own complicity in injustice.* (Confession of 1967 [9.32]) [emphasis added] #IndigenousPeoplesDay #confession #pcusa #jesus https://web.archive.org/web/20101028002015/http://creeds.net/reformed/confess67.pdf

Allison Tanner of the American Friends Service Committee appears at Trinity #Presbyterian Church in #Denton to address America's particular responsibility to address Israeli #apartheid given the ways our taxes provide direct support to Israel. Our faith has been co-opted to support Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Saturday, Oct 11, 1:30pm, 2200 N Bell Ave.

I saw a post recently asking if #Reformed pastors should start wearing clergy collars again. I did when doing campus ministry where most of the students (and faculty) were lapsed from backgrounds where the collar positively communicated “this is someone I can talk to about my struggles.” Recently, I put it on when a mostly #LCMS family requested it as a comfort for a funeral service.
I've avoided it in my more "native" #Presbyterian / #Reformed church settings, including my own. In the #PCA it carried the implication one was tied into far-right #FederalVision (#DougWilson and friends) and, ironically, when I would do pulpit supply in the #PCUSA — at least in St. Louis — it implied alignment with the farthest left segment.
In all contexts, I've hoped to apply 1 Cor. 9:19-22.

Hosanna, loud hosanna,
The little children sang;
Through pillared court and temple
The joyful anthem rang -

I was proud to be voted in as Elder-elect of Westminster Presbyterian Church here in #GreenwoodSC.
My pastor (shown here) handed me a pile of books to study before I'm ordained. But then she looked me right in the eye and said, "There's pdf versions you can download".
I am blessed to have a pastor who knows me so well!

Excellent sermon today, closing out a series titled “Jesus is NOT John Wayne.” Among other things, there’s been a strong subtext of “yes, please, vote—but don’t mistake a candidate for a hero, and don’t expect your vote to save you. We have to save each other.”
Lots of food for thought throughout on the differences between a hero and a savior, too. Much to ponder.
