.@tgc took a quote of mine completely out of context for their hit piece on progressive Christians & that’s not even the biggest problem with the article. 🙄 (They blocked me years ago when I challenged their teaching that women must be subservient to men during sex.)
Also, if I’m not mistaken, every author mentioned in the piece is white. But the progressive Christians doing the most important, groundbreaking, prophetic and creative work right now are not.
Maybe someday I’ll understand how accepting LGBTQ people as beloved children of God is “caving to culture” while embracing white, American nationalism is just faithful Christianity...
And ftr, the quote the author pulls comes from the Introduction in “Inspired,” where I’m telling the story of how I started asking questions about the Bible (questions I unpack in the rest of the book), but she makes it sound like a flippant & conclusive dismissal.
