I'm sharing a stage with some of the best people I've ever known October at the Evolving Faith Conference. This is for the ne'er-do-wells, the ragamuffins, the button pushers, & the wilderness dwellers. Join us. @rachelheldevans @sarahbessey https://t.co/QbNEnf73Wm
Talk about living in the upside down: many churches find peacemaking “controversial,” plain talk on race “too political,” caring for God’s creation “liberal.” This is the fruit of a people who have been told that calling Jesus Lord matters only to your soul, not to your world.
Republicans of Alabama: Voting for an accused pedophile because you don't want people to be gay and have abortions doesn't mean people won't be gay or have abortions. It just means there'll be an accused pedophile representing Alabama.
Racism is NOT enacted through name calling or ways of thinking, it comes through laws and policies and tangible systemic functions. You can NOT defeat racism through symbolism alone, you have to incrementally pick at it through the same systems that allow it to operate.
