Make time to read books. https://t.co/N5T7H6kZlY

[Quartz @qz]

In the time you spend on social media each year, you could read 200 books https://t.co/ClGlaP1l2s

@FraterAsinus This may certainly be an interesting read, but I’m not sure it’s a work of womanist theology.

“Womanism is a social theory based on the history and everyday experiences of Black women.”

When I started to read more, I realized that everything I thought I knew about the history of Christianity and slavery was wrong. I had internalized the popular origin stories of Christianity and "western" freedom, which are based on 3 myths. A thread 🧵...

I know it's counterintuitive but the Cross can change the world.

@wendell_britt Love Linklater!

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@alybensmi Hard agree

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@TimAAmor This is great! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you've got a lot of exciting things happening. It's wonderful to see you and your congregation's energy

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@RevDrDre Congratulations! Certainly very well deserved!

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@alybensmi But, but, but serrrrrrvice. Mennonites are so great at it! Can’t we all be like them? They’re perfect.

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@benjamindcrosby Really anything by @Nnedi but definitely read the Binti trilogy and Who Fears Death

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@robminchin @benjamindcrosby Came here to suggest this one. Super great world building and fantastic writing. Jemisin is the first person to win the Hugo award three years in a row and the trilogy is the first trilogy where all the books won the award.

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@MelissaFloBix Totally love the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor. It’s a super easy read and includes humans and aliens navigating teenage years together

The ongoing conversation about the political climate in the U.S. is a lot. So, what do we do with #ChristianNationalism?

@DrewStrait is offering some practical tools in a webinar next Wednesday #wct

It's time to counter Christian nationalism and learn practical tools for tough conversations.

@joncarlson Still thinking about this #mennorumble22 hashtag.

What if the rumble is the sound of the Holy Spirit shaking the us to our foundations (Acts 16:26)? What if the doors flew open and the chains fell off?

Could we then say to those despairing, “Stop! We are all here!”

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@joncarlson I feel like there’s something a bit healthy about the hashtag explicitly naming that there’s conflict and that it sometimes feels like two sides going at it. I also appreciate the added levity

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@HgKeyReasonable Thanks for providing updates! It’s much appreciated! 😊

[Ben Parker Sutter @BenSutter]

@AlvisPettker Haha, I’m also local. Locals don’t all agree 😝
