"I personally think the Holy Ghost evicted us. I think the Lord evicted us from our churches [with lockdowns] so that we might have a moment to breathe and...reimagine what it means to truly be just."

Tonyia Rawls / Union Presbyterian Seminary talk on "Queer Justice"

"In the Bible when the experience of the wrestling with the angel happened, the question is: What is your name? When Moses encounters the divine: Who shall I tell sent me? Naming, identifying, this is what the alphabet [LGBTQIA+], these designations are all about."

Cedric Harmon

"Where the church failed, where Noah did not, was the church began to determine who was safe to accept + who was no longer safe to accept. We did just the opposite of the example that God showed us through Noah + the ark."

<ppl outside the ark could not be reached for comment>

Obvious that the queer-affirming apostates are queer-affirming apostates, right? So what's relevant here, WPC?

1. Listen to Harmon admit their faith's burden is "ongoing work."
2. Listen to Rawls discuss how they focus on co-opting the black church.

"The first step with the black church pastors we worked with was: I get that you might not be able to affirm LGBTQ people, but your charge is to not cause harm, similar to doctors...own that your rhetoric has been causing harm, has been literally killing people."

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."

Fani Willis returned to church to accept an award and deliver a brief sermon on her court hearing.

"The scripture they keep sending me is 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper'...They did not say the weapons will not form, and that's the part I didn't hear until recently."

Atlanta Berean Church, a Seventh-Day Adventist congregation, hosted Willis this Saturday for nearly 20 minutes of adulation, starting with lead pastor Dr. Sherwin Jack declaring, "She is one of us" (1:26).

The church presented Willis with a "Black History Achievement Award," SDA founder Ellen G. White's "Conflict Of The Ages" book series, and more.

"These beautiful flowers are for you, the beautiful person that you are. We love you."
