"When you...stay silent, when you push back + say things like 'all lives matter,' and when right now more than 12 million people are being persecuted because of the color of their skin...Christ follower, you have missed the point."

Yasmin Roohi, Silicon Valley's CenterSet Church

"Until black lives matter, all lives can't matter. They simply don't matter."

"When I look at Jesus, his humility says: I want what's right over being right."

Ali Roohi: "25 years ago another African-American by the name of Michael Jackson wrote a song that said 'They don't even care about us.' The song was so controversial about racial injustice...trying to talk about the the great MLK that his music video was banned from TV."

Er, no, the controversy wasn't about Martin Luther King Jr, it was about a slur against Jewish people...

Racism = "Defending the advantages whites have because of the subordinate position of racial minorities in the same way that this man w/ the shriveled hand [Mark 3:1-6] is in church + no one is helping him + there's a systematic way to label and push him aside + marginalize him."

And here it is, the bottom line: "The church has given close to $4,000 to two initiatives: Be The Bridge..."

Be the Bridge, founded by Latasha Morrison, who nods approvingly as her struggle sessions get compared to Robin DiAngelo's...

1/21/25: The @j29coalition announces its formation, touting a "goal of providing support to theologically conservative pastors"

1/16/25: Caleb Campbell, the leader of J29, publishes an interview with progressive exvangelical April Ajoy, endorsing (without qualification) her book that explicitly states "queer affirming" is the only right and loving position for Christians to take on sexuality.

Campbell even compares her being "hated by evangelical" to Paul and Jesus facing resistance from "the religious elite" in Judea.

@J29Coalition For those who aren't aware, Ajoy is a co-host of The New Evangelicals with Tim Whitaker and in 2022 produced a podcast called "The Non-Binary Marriage" boasting of her husband becoming a cross-dresser. She celebrates Pride Month and explicitly denies the inerrancy of scripture.

@J29Coalition Ajoy's book, endorsed by Campbell, declares: "After years of praying and learning, I am now fully queer affirming and hold to an inclusive faith." She says this position is held by "those willing to choose love over dogma."

A PCA Mission To North America (MNA) employee under Irwyn Ince speaks out in support of the segregated event that has caused controversy in the past week.

Kellie Brown, the MNA staffer who suggested the Trump assassination attempt in PA was "staged," says "safe spaces" for minorities are the reason she remains in the PCA.

Brown and her husband Howard Brown are currently planting a church for the PCA, "Kindred Hope," which advises white Christians to become "allies" and financial backers rather than congregants.

"There's a lot of conversation around diversity. And a lot of, sadly, Christians are saying that we shouldn't have spaces for black folks, that it's divisive and whatnot. And I actually am a testimony that that's just not true.

When minority people have a safe space to be themselves and to share their hearts, and that space is protected and initiated and supported by the majority culture that's around them, then that makes them feel even safer, and it actually pushes us closer to being one church.

And a lot of voices out there would lie and manipulate that and make it seem like it creates divisiveness, but Christ Central is a testimony that that's just not true. And I'm still here in the PCA after 30-some odd years because of safe spaces and places like you had with Pastor Omari [Hill, of Perimeter Church] and other brothers to help navigate."

At Christ Central, the church plant she touts, pastor Howard Brown led corporate prayers declaring the Puritans guilty of genocide

At the opening of the United Methodist Church's General Conference, attendees are warned to avoid "exclusively male language for God" and to "be conscious of inferred power dynamics."

The next day, this same duo presented their "report card" on the diversity of officers elected to the conference's legislative committees, then scolded attendees to "work a little bit harder on inclusion with language and interpretation."
