Please don't tell me you're colorblind if you also think "white" culture is under attack.
Don't tell me you're colorblind if you think wokeness is promoting "white" guilt.
And definitely, don't tell me you're colorblind if you think it's important to preserve "anglo-saxon" traditions.
(BTW, you know how far we've spiraled now that "anglo-saxon" is replacing "Judeo-Christian" as a cultural marker.)
This is not a subtweet of anyone or anything in particular. Just deeply grieved this morning by the fact that racial healing has been ceded to civil sphere while so many American evangelical churches continue to function as spaces of resistance to justice.
I often don't agree w/ how secular culture pursues racial justice & healing. I believe that Christ & Christian teaching hold the essential elements of repentence, forgiveness, grace, & restoration that make reconilication possible.
But insofar as the American evangelical church has failed to witness in this space... insofar as we have resisted the process... insofar as we have sheltered & perpetuated racism in our pews, what else do you expect?
What. else. do. you. expect?
What. else. do. you. expect?
These are deep, painful issues & Twitter is not sufficient for them. No hottake, no gotcha, no aha moment can replace the deep work of self-examination, repentence, & grace that this moment calls for.
Words matter. Rhetoric matters. But only so far as they move us toward the right things. Pursue holiness & justice. Grieve & repent.
