Dr. Keller, @timkellernyc, I request this in love. Please list ALL of the times you have spoken out, written or taken action against voting for White Christian Nationalism over the past 40 years.

You seem to have had a major epiphany in 2020. Good.

Your commentary over the past 365 days has been helpful. Thank you for it.

But, sir @timkellernyc, you lack one thing. To be well w/ your Black/Brown neighbors whose cries for help against political oppression you largely ignored over the previous 39 yrs, you must CONFESS your sin of omission. You omitted their oppression from you circle of concern.

You confused compassionate ministries with justice; calling for generosity, not justice.

“Generosity” maintains rightful claim to the stashed pile of wealth and resources.

Justice asks how did the pile come to exist?

Justice recognizes the ongoing plunder of Black and Brown lives and work and land and health and futures that amassed the stockpile of wealth and abundance that you have called your masses to be “generous” with in their charity.

So, I am calling you in, @timkellernyc. It is not enough to write a book review. Your stream of the church followed your silent assent of WCN for 39 yrs. Now, they need you to lead them away from the cliff.

And, @timkellernyc, your Black/Brown neighbors are still suffering from wounds/losses allowed, in part, by your deafening silence.

We are still waiting for you to break your silence with an acceptable sound—not pontification or righteous indignation. We wait for your confession.
