"It is not enough for those of us who benefit daily from our white privilege to simply look to the most horrific consequences of racism... we must begin to understand the role of Christianity in the creation and in the preservation of white supremacy." @DawnHutt
@DawnHutt "I deliberately did not read the Great Commission [as prescribed for this date]... I doubt I will ever again read the Great Commission and publicly claim it as the gospel."
@DawnHutt "The so-called 'Great Commission' was added to the gospel by the Christian community sometime around the year 325 to bring this gospel into line with the brand-spanking new creed which the church had just written, which you know as the Nicene Creed."
@DawnHutt "It is long past time for me to listen to the cries of all those who have felt the weight of my knee of privilege pressing down upon their necks... No place is our white privilege more evident than in the church which has fostered us, nourished us, grounded and sustained us."
@DawnHutt "On this Trinity Sunday, when the church celebrates its creeds, let us not look to the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, or, God forbid, the Athanasian Creed... The Jesus movement was about solidarity, not cultural obliteration."
@DawnHutt "Just how different would our world be if the church... had not have become a citadel of patriarchy and enforced a regime prioritizing race, class, and gender... even the very Trinity... has for generations portrayed the institution's preference for a white, male God."
@DawnHutt Applications: "Shut up and listen... confess that Jesus did not say all the things we would have liked for him to have said... [move] beyond our cherished notions about the nature of the divine mystery, even beyond the blessed Trinity... give back what was never ours."
