“I am personally convinced that the Jesus a lot of people are walking away from is not Jesus at all, as the only Jesus I recognize now is an oppressed, persecuted, brown-skinned man who was trampled by an empire, not a mascot who was invented for one.”

Today is a day set aside for pledging allegiance, honoring sacrifice, remembering that we are part of a larger communal story that gives our individual stories purpose and meaning.⁣ I am happy to participate. ⁣

Today I celebrate my dependence on the slaughtered lamb. I pledge my allegiance to him & the way of self-sacrificial love, for which he stands. ⁣

The Nicene Creed teaches us that the baptized are to confess that “we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church,” not in a compromised and nationalistic church.
