Christians: how are you going to pick up your cross with that gun in your hands?

CBC caught me in the midst of a major library reorganization, hence the empty bookcase on stage left ...

Jesus's suffering was not anything *beyond* or *extra* to the human condition under Sin & Death. It was full participation in humanity's plight. It was *for* the benefit of all, not as a "substitution," but so that by partaking of "the same"... 1/3

@bethfelkerjones Craig Keen is not on the bird app, but Wesleyans should definitely read his work, especially *After Crucifixion.*

Abolish the death penalty. #SaveMelissaLucio

A few months ago, in that blurry haze of new motherhood, I left my infant daughter Eureka on the couch for just a few seconds. She rolled and slipped and tumbled to the floor, hitting her head, then burst out crying. /a thread to #SaveMelissaLucio

@jgils @davidcinema I consider it a failure as a friend that I didn't ensure you saw this years ago. This is in my top 5 films all time.

I was wrong & embarrassingly ignorant to assume — no, believe! — liturgical churches of any kind were dry & boring with meaningless rituals practiced by detached people and that liturgical churches (across the board!) did not value the Scriptures OR the gospel the way “we” did.

[Ryan L. Hansen @RyanLeifHansen]

It's truly amazing. It's the American dream. Someone can start out homeless-in a camp!-and can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and go on to achieve great things, like being a genocidal tyrant. TN state government (run by GOP) is the worst state government in the US.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

TN Senator says Hitler made something of himself after being homeless & you can too. I’m going to have to apologize to the universe for this guy. Hey @MeidasTouch not a single day passes without TN GOP embarrassing the hell out of our state.😬 @meiselasb @meidasjordy @BMeiselas

[Fr. Joash P. Thomas @JoashPThomas]

Christianity is not a western faith.

So many folks here (including many black & brown folks) are ignorant of the rich Eastern Christian tradition and how many of our black & brown ancestors have been worshiping Jesus since many white folks’ ancestors were worshiping Thor.

1/5

@TimothyRGaines Did you get the Chuck cut?

[Michael Frost @michaelfrost6]

Church Growth Theory didn’t result in church growth, and the Christian leadership industry didn’t give us better leaders. So can we stop trying to do Christian ministry with tools from the fields of marketing, management and psychology now?!

[Matt Tebbe @matttebbe]

Who has read up on the history of fascism?

If you have: what work is the mainstreaming & normalizing of Q-Anon rhetoric about pedophilia & child abuse & grooming doing in our present political moment?

My take: this demonization always leads to sanctioned mass violence.

Always.

@bethfelkerjones This sounds like a cruel practical joke by the author of the cat book to play on prospective cat owners.

@mistercolvin @JPHill_Cards @dale_schaeffer We're only supposed to take them literally, but not seriously.
