Recording of our conversation a few nights ago @TheIRD on our recent @BHAcademic volumes on history of Christian political economy!

[Jeff Walton @jeffreyhwalton]

"Mythology has limited abilities to dethrone the rich and mighty. Christianity’s power comes from believing in a God who literally intervenes in history," writes @markdtooley.

Does the old Modernist Religious Left still exist? U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's pastor, the Rev. Jim Rigby of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, may be one of its last recognizable vestiges, writes IRD's @markdtooley. https://t.co/AwNvkJYMKr

[Anton Sorkin ن @Legal_Ministry]

“There was a vacuum here being filled by other voices and other perspectives that are critical of — if not hostile to — the free-market perspective.”

Great new initiative from @TheIRD. https://t.co/Tp98hskOWZ

Does the old Modernist Religious Left still exist? The New York Times found one of its last recognizable vestiges in the Reverend Jim Rigby whose congregation includes Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. @theird https://t.co/GW5Bavd1g4

Institute on Religion and Democracy launches ecumenical ‘Christians for Capitalism’ project https://t.co/5oXXNlBYmx

[@markdtooley @markdtooley]

“Tooley, who is Methodist, said IRD is ‘not tied to any particular Christian tradition’ and includes both Protestants and Catholics, noting ‘Catholics were among our founders.’ He said IRD has been ecumenical from the start, with a focus on Christianity in the U.S., democracy, and human rights.”

@EWTN article about our @theird Christians for Capitalism initiative https://t.co/lccXUHHIjh

[@markdtooley @markdtooley]

This article extolling "Christian empire" almost flowed until it started defending Belgian King Leopold II, whose atrocities were exposed by American Presbyterian missionaries among others. No thanks. https://t.co/wzRRWeD3Rh

[@markdtooley @markdtooley]

United Methodism like most denominations has decreasing influence over even its fast decreasing membership, who derive their views chiefly online, secondarily from their local church, & almost not at all from what remains of denomination.

In a culture that tells us to follow our feelings, @stephenwrankin offers a timely reminder in @goodnewsmag that the Holy Spirit transforms us through both renewed thinking and renewed affections, drawing us into a deeper and more mature faith. https://t.co/wEnITyzKUS
