@StephenPate I wonder if a coaching model would shift that dynamic- no one expects to have the same coach their whole life, no coach keeps the same players forever, but growth happens through the relationships in specific seasons

@bonenosejones @StephenPate Why would you do anything else?

A message from Dean Joretta Marshall: Brite is committed to theological education that integrates scholarship, justice, and practice. We believe that the gospel mandates that we bring the best of our voices, intellect, and spirits to calls for social justice.

Finishing my sermon for Sunday- pulpit swap with our Spanish-centered partner congregation. Acts 2 (because Pentecost) and then a whirlwind tour of the book of Acts to see what happened to the crowd that heard Peter preach

@adamlorenz It is also VERY white. If you are mostly within evangelical circles, Rah's The Next Evangelicalism will move the needle on that.

[Michael Shepherd @profshepherd]

@adamlorenz That could shade several ways- historical development, theologial, structural, demographic, cultural, political...

Mead, Hill, Atwood's Handbook of Denominations is a great place to start, but it could be too broad.

@adamlorenz And some actual data on Evangelical Protestants:

@adamlorenz I could point you to some good books, but I don't think that's what you mean by "accesible", right?

@adamlorenz @chuckdegroat @BChrisDorsey @beardonabike @figureoutmylife Not finding anything quickly- most are VERY antidenominational. (or, jus wrong, such as describing Jesus Christ, 33 AD as the founder of the Baptist church)

Someone asked what the barriers to racial reconciliation are.
I said that one of them is the church.

@kouya .@psephizo I love your point on "Concordance Greek"!

A uni I adjuncted at (NOT where I am now) wanted to re-classify a failing student into a summer independent study. I said I would teach it, if they would pay me to design and deliver the course in the new modality. They balked. I walked. #finalsweek

Becoming a Christian who is also white should mean rejecting the ideology of white superiority. Allegiance to Jesus should enable us to recognize it as antithetical to the Bible, as is any system, ideology, or narrative that attempts to position one group of people as superior
