@UrbanMinistryUK @DanRhysJames @Stevebelliow @steve_kneale @faithrootsDW @litabny @WelshRev @LawrenceMason13 @Felix_Aremo @jeremysmarshall We have lost the teaching of the imago dei. We don't teach the full counsel of God. We teach justification but if anyone mentions justice we think they must be progressive/liberal @UrbanMinistryUK @DanRhysJames @Stevebelliow @steve_kneale @faithrootsDW @litabny @WelshRev @LawrenceMason13 @Felix_Aremo @jeremysmarshall We don't treat working class people as fully human. We don't treat disabled people as fully human. We don't treat black people as fully human (unless they are African and have been to university and speak with an Oxford accent)

@litabny @drantbradley @UrbanMinistryUK I'll deal with the Brits in a mo
The American branch of Evangelicalism need to go back and learn the lessons that stopped them having fellowship with brethren around the world in 1846. They completely failed to grasp the race issue.

Additional answers in the comments as ever Frederick Douglass was one of the greatest American abolitionists and the first African American to be nominated to run for Vice President. He spoke powerfully for the equality of all people in the the UK and the US and deeply impacted many who followed

"Algorithms" are coming in for a lot of stick. Algorithms make decisions about who should be given a visa, which school kids go to, who gets disability benefits, and now what grade students get at GCSE & A level Someone wrote the algorithm to a specification and policy makers will have tested it with last year's data to highlight what impact it has on different groups of people; high flyers, average performers, clever but disadvantaged kids, etc. The implications were understood

@esaumccaulley These arguments have been going on for 200 years. Southern Christian leaders like James Henley Thornwell taught that those who stood against their racism were communists @esaumccaulley The Southern Baptists burnt the books of Spurgeon when he decried their racism. I guess they thought he was a communist rabble rouser too.
