"The version of Christianity that I received had this very strong, you're not supposed to commune with the dead, basically...I really asked the question, why would it be so important for these oppressors to tell us not to connect with our ancestors?" Andre Henry

Oh, we're not done.

Jo Luehmann says in Christianity, "pleasure is for whiteness...pleasure is divine...but for us [POC], work is divine...It's grooming theology."

The logical conclusion of standpoint epistemology: "All reality is a hallucination, really...That's why you can have 2 people walk down the street and have 2 very, very different experiences."

"I don't believe in God. At all. But I believe in Christ, and to me Christ is just the embodiment of divinity in me, in you, in all of humanity. So for all intents and purposes, I'm a Christian atheist...I just tell people I'm a Christian to avoid all of the 'what do you mean?'"

Andre: "I stopped believing in God, as well, I think it was 2016...Someone told me that if I did mushrooms that I would believe in God again."

"There's something about that decolonizing journey that puts you...kind of in the wild again. And Genesis is my favorite book of the Bible, because that is the sense of God that I get from it, is that no one in Genesis has a Bible. They don't have churches. It's very messy."

"Ancient Jewish spirituality, which is what Christianity borrows from, is indigenous spirituality. And because it was stolen and because it was corrupted and appropriated by systems of oppression doesn't mean that I have to reject it."

"They're living under Babylonian subjugation. Of course they're gonna tell each other stories about how they've overcome oppression in the past...Most of the stuff in Joshua didn't really happen...I don't think Bob Marley actually shot the sheriff's deputy."

For those asking "Who?," Andre has been platformed at a rather large (1,500-member) PCUSA church in the past year:

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."

Kelly Rosati, a National Association Of Evangelicals board member, calls pro-life Christians' opposition to state-run welfare "useless," "un-scriptural," and "madness."

Here's wider context: Rosati, an alumnus of Focus On The Family and former member of the March For Life's board of national directors, is speaking at the NAE's "Flourish" conference in October of last year. (1/2)

"I just want to plant a flag and say: Let us be people that never advocate for abortion restrictions without an accompanying paid family leave support." (2/2)
