Today I tweeted more than I ever do in response to some issues around #DecenteringWhiteness and #LiberatingEvangelicalism It is interesting to see the responses generated, especially the assumptions underlying many of them
interesting too because of the unwillingness? inability? for respondents to respond to what was actually said.
I suspect many of them think I am probably a theologically liberal SJW type who plays fast and lose with the biblical text in order to justify all manner of heterodox positions -- even when I explicitly state my agreement with them.
Need to unpack two concepts brought together by this question: 1) Decentering 2) Whiteness. #LiberatingEvangelicalism #insession 1/
First, To decenter means to move, slide, lift and clear from the center—the reference point. 2/ #LiberatingEvangelicalism .@FreedomRoadus
Now, #whiteness. Whiteness is a POLITICAL construct, created to order our world in such a way as to bestow full benefits of citizenship and humanity upon people deemed white by the state. 3/ #LiberatingEvangelicalism .@Evang4Justice @FreedomRoadus
