Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian minister who became the most visible leader of the civil rights movement until his assassination in 1968. His non-violence differentiated him from more militant Malcolm X en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lu…

I'm not sure that my American friends at #WeirdChristianTwitter have seen this poll yet

It is upsetting that 97% votes are going for men - it seems that the US is still not ready for a female President! Image

@litabny @drantbradley @UrbanMinistryUK I'll deal with the Brits in a mo
The American branch of Evangelicalism need to go back and learn the lessons that stopped them having fellowship with brethren around the world in 1846. They completely failed to grasp the race issue. F Douglass was scathing
@litabny @drantbradley @UrbanMinistryUK Frederick Douglass's address to the London Anti-slavery League following a failed attempt at compromise by American and British Evangelicals to form an Alliance to counter a resurgent global Catholicism captures the issues

@litabny @drantbradley @UrbanMinistryUK Much of the progress that had been made by British Evangelicals through the 18th and 19th centuries to fully appreciate the imago dei in all humanity and to understand God's heart for justice in the here and now as well as eternity was lost in the Great Reversal of 1920

"Algorithms" are coming in for a lot of stick. Algorithms make decisions about who should be given a visa, which school kids go to, who gets disability benefits, and now what grade students get at GCSE & A level
Someone wrote the algorithm to a specification and policy makers will have tested it with last year's data to highlight what impact it has on different groups of people; high flyers, average performers, clever but disadvantaged kids, etc. The implications were understood
Trade offs were always going to have to be made. A % of people will always be upset by results. Policy makers will have looked at the winners and losers of a variety of different algorithms and decided which would be fairer and which would be too high a political price

@esaumccaulley The Southern Baptists burnt the books of Spurgeon when he decried their racism. I guess they thought he was a communist rabble rouser too. Image
@esaumccaulley Bavinck considered American Christianity was utterly corrupted by mammon and racism. He had no problem calling out this systemic sin and calling for repentance and justice in his sermons Image
