#WCT Online church: our privilege is showing. Some ppl are spiritually starving. We're used to a feast. Now we're forced into lower quality food. But its still food ya'll. Unreached are starving spiritually w/ no church. ❤️your online church and be grateful for what you have? 1/
In your online areas, be intentional with community. Call, email, pray together, zoom small groups--whatever it takes. In you IRL areas, do the same. Flex between online and IRL when needed (like...during a Covid wave) Ppl will flex w/ you. 2/
Have both available at all times (except lockdown obvi). Why would you deprive someone of participating in the body?

Earlier this year, I read the fabulous (and hard) book “Jesus & John Wayne” by @kkdumez.
I’ve been trying to write this piece on and off ever since, finally beginning with this a few weeks ago:
“It’s all true. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”

This book resonated a lot with me. I’ve been inside various expressions of evangelicalism for most of my life.
There have always been things in evangelicalism I’ve seen that I found confusing or hypocritical. I could never really nail down what was at the heart of it though.

. @kkdumez manages to do so. #JesusAndJohnWayne is wonderful in that it is well-researched and easy to follow.
It’s a hard read —at least for me— because much of the content is disturbing.
I also found it to be difficult because I saw my own experiences in it.

I own a vintage 5th/6th grade textbook: “A School History of Texas,” c. 1913. Revisionist history says the Civil War was about “States Rights.” Check it out. In 1913 white folk weren’t embarrassed abt slavery yet. #WCT #weirdchristiantwitter 1/5
So, here are a few pages from the textbook. Note on page 211: “the Northern states, by their attacks on slavery, had violated the constitution.... the power of the government was now being used to oppress the slave states.” Slavery was the issue. 2/5 
Reconstruction. Check out how the book treats the KKK on pages 231-232. No, apparently the State Board of Education wasn’t even embarrassed about domestic terrorists yet. Praising the KKK in a 5th/6th grade textbook. 3/5
