Grading #theology finals. Some variations on "Transubstantiation":
Transbustination
Transubstantinarianism
Transubstration
Transubsticiation
I've decided these have interesting theological import: Transbustination (when the bread and wine self-combust into Jesus's body and blood?)

White supremacy is evil and anti-Christ.

Not outright condemning it to the pit of hell is not merely opening the door to the devil, but inviting evil in and giving it space and legitimacy. 1/8
The devil makes promises, bullies others, pretends to care about us and the causes we hold dear, and make us feel important and like we're doing the righteous thing. 2/8
The devil has us build walls of hostility against everyone who is deemed a threat to the one in power because he's doing what's "necessary" to restore some kind of vague greatness. We get used to damning the humanity of others in the process. 3/8

On this #HolocaustRemembranceDay, I've been thinking about Karl Barth (who actively resisted the Nazi regime) and this one section in the Church Dogmatics (IV.2.65) in which he explains how easy it is to be lulled into minimizing evil after seeing evil so blatantly displayed. 1/4
"Man collectively may take on a terrifying and monstrous appearance. But these critical periods usually pass, and they are followed by periods of relative calm in which civilized life is resumed and these dangerous manifestations are again regarded as exceptional. 2/4
"The inhuman element withdraws for the most part into the wings. We are again ashamed of it. We would rather not mention the names which it has assumed and the events which betray its savagery . . . 3/4

Nathan Phillips's response to his being so aggressively mocked and harassed exemplifies the virtue of fortitude - standing strong and clinging to good while resisting evil. This is true strength.

Fellow white Christians, we've GOT to do the work of listening, cultivating the discipline of humility, repenting, and owning up to and confronting our vast network of racist and colonial structures within the church.
We're way past the clutching our pearls and asking "Where were their parents?!" and chalking this is up to unchaperoned "bad behavior."

The idealistic stage of creating a syllabus for a new class:
The "okay, maybe I need to dial it back" stage:

Well Church, here we are. Our mission is clear. We are with the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the suffering. Full stop.
If we are followers of Jesus then our with-ness is not conditional - it is required. This is going to require things from us.
With-ness is proximity - so plan on spending a lot of time hugging, comforting, and linking arms while marching and in advocacy.
