This week in WPCs!

My new editing style for YouTube is more laborious, so those have cut into my output. We started out with a montage of some clips first tweeted last Friday:
Next, I've been scanning YouTube for churches mentioning the 'rona vax during their services to see who's respecting conscience and who's not. This Disciples Of Christ church in Ohio went WAY overboard for the latter:
Here's the Fair Use-ified version of that one:
Next, Neil's review of Anthea Butler's new book piqued my interest, so I started looking up what she's all about.
Turns out she's queer-affirming (and much, much more!), so that turned into a helpful guide for discerning where your church or institution is on what I call "The Antiracist-To-Pagan Pipeline"
Sure, the ELCA is commissioning transgender bishops, but you know what's even worse? Pushing kids to the pulpit to denounce their privilege before they hit puberty.
And finally, I wouldn't even call this a struggle session. There's not enough genuine pain and shame. This is piety theater.
Thank you for your prayers, your comments, your encouragement. If you have a WPC candidate, send it via Facebook, Gab, or email to wpctips @ protonmail . com!

ED STETZER: As a Christian + a scientist, do you think there's any basis...to claim a religious exemption from [COVID] vaccines?

FRANCIS COLLINS: I have trouble seeing what it would be...I can't see how that fits together in some sort of rational argument.
"Kids need to be in school. The consequences of missing out on that personal interaction...are really significant. Those of us who are adults + are missing our church gathering, we're suffering too, but if I have to make a priority, getting those kids in school is even higher."
"If churches are determined to meet, what can they do...well, certainly continuing to insist on mask wearing for everybody, vaxed or unvaxed...Families who are arriving together + have been unmasked around each other all day need not be separated [by 6 feet], but others should."

"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
<Lest anyone assume otherwise, "All Lives Matter" is cringe and I have never uttered, typed, or written it anywhere unless quoting others>
"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."

Esau McCaulley: I think there's emerging a division within evangelicalism...not a theological division between liberal + conservative.

Also Esau McCaulley: "Any heresy will do" for young Christians who "know in their heart" socjus is right but want people to tell them it's bad.
WPC, noticing heresy hunters since 2020...
"When the flames of Pentecost came down...one response was to say they were just drunk...'They're just cultural Marxists. They're just SJWs'...That is the same things they did at Pentecost, where they used what they can see as an interpretive lens to dismiss what was going on."

"We want a job for every black person in America for the next 100 years. And the government can do it. We want child care for every parent who's African-American for the next 100 years. We want free health care for every black American for the next 100 years."

Rev. James T Meeks
"I'll know that you're saved when you start talking about reparations. I'll know that you're saved when you start saying and acknowledging that negro people should be paid back."

Greg Thompson still ragging on DeYoung:

"For the idea that it's too complicated, we're people that believe in the Trinity...and what we're talking about is a form of cultural accounting for 400 years is too complicated? This is a form of evasion."
Also this is false: "It's simply an arbitrary claim that he is making, that a generation or multiple generations absolves us of obligation. That is biblically and theologically false. He just asserts that. He doesn't defend it."

KDY spent 6 paragraphs, nearly 1,000 words on it
KDY didn't just say that the passage of time erases obligation. Nor did he say that reparations are simply too hard. Let's look at both of those separately (ugh, this is becoming a 🧵)

Truett Seminary endorsing Ibram Kendi by name and some far-left books in links down in this video's description:

clips incoming
Screenshots from a Google Doc promoted in the talk: "This is not something that we put together...there is a way that we can facilitate education where we're not over-burdening our black brothers and sisters who are managing this trauma in the ways that they need to."
"I use Ibram Kendi's definition of racist ideas: that a racist idea is any idea in which a racial group is considered inferior to another racial group in any way, and so when white people benefit from that construction, that's what white supremacy is."
