Related: About this forumBishop Michael Curry walks a fine line in the political fray
From the article:
The Most Rev. Currys charismatic, love-centered homily during the service sparked a media blitz that rocketed him to stardom and landed him interviews at virtually every major American news network.
At a time when both political and spiritual matters are often marked by division, the praise for his sermon which focused on Jesus message of love was a rare moment of unity....
We are not (sic) partisan group. We are not a left-wing group. We are not a right-wing group. We are a Jesus movement, he declared to raucous applause.

I parked myself at the dining area table for afternoon tea and did pause to read the article you contributed.

Paraphrasing: 'We should give honor to dump bc he is of God and doing most wonderful things for our country???" 🤧

The event, headed by a bevy of liberal-leaning Christians, was organized to promote a Reclaiming Jesus proclamation in which he and various signers declared, among other things, that President Trumps campaign slogan America First was a theological heresy.
What's wrong with just declaring it bad for everyone except billionaires? Calling political ideas "heresy" is what right-wing theocrats do, and it has led to the polarization we now see.
...such as when he lifts up his two models for public theology: famed civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. and evangelist Billy Graham.
Yikes. Do you think Billy Graham is a "model for public theology," gil? The man was an anti-Semite, a homophobe who believed in "gay cure therapy," and he coined what was known at the time as the "Billy Graham" rule (now made famous by Mike Pence) that requires a married man to avoid being alone (even in a professional setting) with a woman other than his wife. That nonsense excuse for misogyny is ridiculous.

And heresy is a theological term.
Do you agree with 100% of everything in every article that you post?

(49,533 posts)4. So you disagree with Bishop Curry, and agree with me about Billy Graham?
Now that's some good news.
