A word from Amos for #crcsynod: "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies . . . But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" Stop pretending you want address the harm you just created.
To the church that wishes to rule by exclusion, punishment, and wielding power to control: you're missing the gospel. It's over there with the queer kids who excel at forgiveness and love. Liberation of the oppressed IS the gospel. #TheGreatestofTheseIsLove#crcsynod
#crcnasynod 8E -- it is curious how we choose to exercise love and charity and pastoral care in our disagreements... by kicking out all the churches, pastors, elders and deacons who choose to love and care for our lgbtq+ people.
