<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Today, I would like to share on the topic, “The Living
God.” This topic arose as I reflected on the multiple global tragedies
happening in the world today. Wars, poverty including hunger, mental health
challenges including depression, rampant hatred and violence, and the rejection
of Jesus and his teachings by evangelicals, compel a deep and persistent hope and
longing for the living God. These three words present us with a blessed
assurance that is the integrity of our faith and witness. Jeremiah 10:10-12 (NRSV)
says, “But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting
King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his
indignation. Thus, shall you say to them: The gods who did not make the heavens
and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The words of Jeremiah are a reminder that there is the
world’s agenda that it affirms by creating its own god. This is an ideological god,
or a tribal god, the kind that justifies the power to dehumanize millions of people.
This god is made in the image of the human
ego, its fears, hubris and limitations. It is a very, very small god. Karen
Armstrong, a British journalist and former nun, investigates the 4000-year
history of God. Her book shows the reader that the definition of God is
constantly being repeated, altered, discarded, and resurrected through the
ages, responding to its followers' practical concerns rather than to mystical
mandates. The book shows us how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have
overlapped and influenced one another, gently challenging the secularist
history of each of these religions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> The key words
are, “responding to the practical concerns rather than mystical mandates.” In
other words, this tribal god responds, throughout human history, to the agenda
of those in power. This god becomes a projection of <i>Make America Great Again</i>,
the slaveholder’s religion, and a religion-politics that is antithetical to the
life and teachings of Jesus. This god advocates for a new kind of Jesus that
validates capitalism and its politics while denying the needs and concerns of the
poor, working class, those on the margins of the faith community, society and
the environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I have been reading a book titled, The Door of No Return,
The History of Cape Coast Castle and the Atlantic Slave Trade” by William St.
Clair. The author tells the grim story about the Cape Coast Castle, located in
Ghana, West Africa, as the greatest symbol of forced migration. For hundreds of
years western nations used religious doctrine to justify places such as Cape
Coast Castle and the enslavement of Africans. I’m talking about a dehumanization,
affirmed by the ideology of a tribal god, on a massive global scale which became
the accepted foundation of a new world in which we live today. This same tribal
god was used to affirm what was eventually called manifest destiny as well as Jim
Crow and lynchings. I mean how else can we make sense, if that’s possible, out
of a people who go to church, receive communion and then go out and lynch
another human being except that they worship of god of their own making. In his
book, <i>Jesus and the Disinherited</i>, Howard Thurman writes about being
confronted at the University of Columbo in Ceylon about the involvement of Christianity
in the slave trade on his pilgrimage of friendship to India, Burma, and Ceylon,
present day Sri Lanka. For those who
Thurman met the question was, “How could Thurman justify being a Christian in a
Christian nation that worships a small, tribal god?” <i>This is the work of the prophet.</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The Old Testament prophets Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea,
Ezekiel, Joel and Amos dealt with a stiff-necked culture and society that
rejected the living God for a tribal god and its many trinkets. The prophet could
only speak what the living God had called them to speak and experience. They
suffered because of this calling. Typically, somewhat like today, this was a
minority theological position and not well funded. This is further affirmed by Jesus
the Christ of Nazareth, son of the living God, who, according to scripture, had
no place to lay his head, was crucified and then resurrected. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So, what or who is the living God? In a book titled, Christian
Mystics, Mattew Fox, American priest and theologian and former Dominican, looks
at Meister Eckhart, a German Theologian, who prayed to God for forgiveness and
to help him move beyond a human projection of God. <i>“Have you ever prayed God
to rid you of God?</i> The work we do in our fields of calling requires that we
follow the prayer of Eckhart and rid ourselves of those projections of God that
get in the way of the grace and mercy necessary to transform the work we have been
called to do. Further, the living God could care less about our biases Oh yes,
God loves each of us, we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but the living God
does not cater to the human biases that seek to diminish a diverse humanity. This
is most vividly seen in racism, antisemitism, transphobia, homophobia, political
thought, gender and sexual diversity. God’s gonna do what God’s gonna do
regardless of how comfortable or uncomfortable it might make us, and God has no
need for us to believe. And I’m pretty sure this includes Jesus. The sooner we move
beyond a projection of God the sooner we will experience a genuine grace that
overcomes all our fears. In second Corinthians 12 the Apostle Paul speaks of praying
to God three times to rid him of the thorn in his flesh and in the end, God does
not remove the thorn but says, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” (vs. 8-9) The thorn in the flesh of the Apostle Paul
was there to keep him from arrogance and projecting his profoundly strong ego
on to God. This is Paul’s story, not yours. The text does not condone suffering,
but it does ask us as Christians to look at suffering from a different
perspective. Ridding ourselves of the projections will enhance the experience
of God encountered in the Frederick Buechner quote. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Biblical scripture flows out of a spirit filled real-life
experience with the one true and living God. The writers, such as Paul, have
experienced the all-pervading presence and desire that has transformed their
life. The scriptural readings of Exodus 20:3, Isaiah 43:10-13, the Pauline Epistles
including Ephesians 4:4-6, and 1 John 5:20 are an invitation, even a longing for
each of us, to live into a relationship with the living God of love. To
experience an unnerving and unwavering hospitality that rids us of shallow
preconceived notions and makes us free in Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The text for today is Psalm 34:14-18,
Luke 19:41-42, John 14:27, and Hebrews 12:14. As I begin this discourse on peace,
I am mindful of Matthew 5:9, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be
called children of God. It is important to share on this topic because the times
in which we live call us to focus on what it means to seek peace or to ask the question,
“Is peace something to be desired or is it actually possible with the present social
and economic order in place?” The question emerges as a response to those <i>spiritual
disciplines</i> that awakens us to our collective profound need for God’s grace
and mercy. For some, the times we are living through become an invitation to weep
as they encounter the spiritual blindness, its moral deficit, and lack of peace encountered
by Jesus in the gospel of Luke 19:41-42. <o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">The implication of engaging <i>spiritual
disciplines</i> is the nurturing of a prophetic consciousness that becomes the
ground of a new vision for peace. A vision not defined by or exclusively in the
purview of powerful political, economic, and religious interests but a justice-oriented
vision grounded in Psalm 34:14-18, that puts the desires of the righteous, those
who have turned from evil to good, who pursue peace, the brokenhearted and
those who are crushed in spirit at the center of cultural and societal
concerns. I speak of a peace, attentive
to God’s ears, that delivers and saves the global poor, oppressed working class, and those on the margins of a global society from all their troubles. This kind
of peace requires a new global structure of peace that decenters and/or
displaces the former global structures of peace built after World War II. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">The Dai Lama says, “Peace does not mean
an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving
these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education,
knowledge; and through humane ways.” Peace first and foremost is about seeking
understanding. It is about recognizing the image of God as distinct in the other
person and community. In this sense, peace is about dignity, recognition, hospitality, and an appreciation for
historical concerns, as recognition that all of humanity is made in the image
of God. What I have been talking about is strategies that address an ever-increasing
longing for a society that exhibits a deeper depth of capacity for love,
justice, enlightenment, and the basic needs that sustain life. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">The implication of such a strategy is a
power that emerges from a love for all God’s people expressed in the life and
ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. In the book, <i>A Call to Conscience,</i> Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. writes,<i> </i>“Power is the strength required to bring about
social, political and economic change…Power at its best is love implementing the
demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that
stands against love.” This kind of power, exemplified by Jesus, is ethical,
sacrificial, compassionate, and non-violent. Attentive to the all-pervading
presence of God, it seeks peace through understanding, radically inclusive
hospitality, and the uplifting of a diverse human society. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">Hebrews 12:14-15 says, “Pursue peace
with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the
grace of God, that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble and
through it, many become defiled.” The writer of Hebrews is calling us to do everything
humanly possible to be at peace with everyone, even those who benefit from
violence and conflict, and see the kind of peace that Jesus gives as of little use.
The peace of the Hebrews text is anathema to those who revel in injustice to
power, wealth, and domination. Isaiah 10:1-4 “Woe to those who make iniquitous
decrees, who write oppressive statutes, to turn aside the needy from justice
and to rob the poor of my people of their right, to make widows their spoil and
to plunder orphans! What will you do on
the day of punishment, in the calamity that will come from far away? To whom
will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth, so as not to
crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain? For all this his anger has
not turned away; his hand is stretched out still.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span>The sincere follower of the teachings
of Jesus, living critically in an immoral society with its evil structures, that
uplift conflict and violence, as a norm, where hate speech and hate crimes are
on the rise, this includes anti-LGBTQ legislation, with 474 million guns in the
US alone, according to Alcohol Tabacco and Firearms data, this is on top of a US
military budget of 715 billion dollars in 2022, should be mindful of John 14:27
that says, Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you
as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be
afraid. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">The Christian must grapple with the
reality that the world <i>is</i> incapable of the peace that Jesus leaves. They
recognize that the current state of US and global affairs including the latest
situations between Israel and Palestine and Russia and Ukraine, is no different
than when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his <b><i>Beyond Vietnam, Time to
Break Silence</i></b> Speech on April 4, 1967, at Riverside Church in New York
City. The sincere Christian considering what
might seem to be a hopeless situation, asks the question, “How does the
Christian, in the present environment, share the light of peace that Jesus
gives?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">Mahatma Gandhi said, “The day the
power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” – The Christian witness, emerging from a place of
religious humility, must be first and foremost about peace as a spirit-filled, overwhelming outpouring of love. The peace that Jesus bestows must be
how the Christian moves in the world. <i>Peace must be a reality of embodiment</i>.
<i>It must be a way of life.</i> Only if
peace is a way of life can it be the primary concern and not a secondary concern
of peripheral importance. This embodiment of peace must be received as an
invitation of authenticity that emerges as an outpouring of the Good News. Peace
must be an ongoing concern of all people at the personal intimate, communal, national, and global levels inclusive of the United Nations and a global conference
on peace grounded in the sacred texts of all religions. While these structures and strategies may be in
place, it is of great necessity to reassess these structures to rejuvenate the
purpose, meaning, engagement, and foundation of peace. <o:p style="font-size: 14pt;"></o:p></span></p>The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-51996696065696620672023-09-24T23:23:00.005-07:002023-10-19T05:50:44.751-07:00Extravagant Attention to God’s Grace<p> </p>

topic from a lineage of faithful Christians who know the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and stay focused on its transformative message of love as a matter of necessity. It is important to share this topic
because the times in which we live call us to focus even more on giving extravagant attention to God’s grace. This is a time of heightened spiritual warfare with the concepts of focus and
attention, formerly used to identify strategies to acquire knowledge, education, and enlightenment now characterized as avenues for the acquisition of political
and economic power and influence. Mindful
of the Simone Weil quote, “Attention is the rarest and purest form of
generosity”, extravagant attention to grace means to be generous with our faith,
to do those things that nourish and deepen our faith. </span><span> It is this generosity
that reveals the depth of God’s great grace and radically inclusive hospitality
amidst a time of a great falling away. The implication of this generosity is
awakening your potential. </span><i>Receiving</i><span> </span><i>God’s love within is key</i><span>! The
texts for today are Psalm 119:15-16 (ESV), Philippians 3:12-14 and the life of Saint
Irene of Macedonia. The last message was on “Harvest time”, a season of
gathering things planted, a natural time of reaping in joy what has been
produced during the year in an agricultural community. From a theological perspective
Harvest time is a time of reckoning regarding the affairs of humanity, be it
for good or for evil. It is the end of a season, the ending of an age, it is
time as set forth by God and not the responsibility of the servant. </span></div></span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span> </span><span> T</span>he Psalmist says “I will meditate on your
precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will
not forget your word. The Psalmist is focusing their attention on the precepts
and statutes of God. This is their spiritual practice. The Book of Psalms shows
us the depth of the Psalmist's extravagant attention to their relationship with
God. The Psalmist's desire is for God.
Psalm 42:1-2 says “As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for
you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Where can I go and
meet with God?” O How many times have I been comforted by the extravagant
attention of the Psalmist. Our second text, Philippians 3:12-14, attributed to
the Apostle Paul says, 12 Not that I have already obtained this or have already
reached the goal,[a] but I press on to lay hold of that for which Christ[b] has
laid hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have laid
hold[c] of it, but one thing I have laid hold of forgetting what lies behind
and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal, toward
the prize of the heavenly[d] call of God in Christ Jesus. When I read this text
I see a man so focused on Jesus Christ that he is completely sold out. The
Apostle Paul, having met Jesus on the road to Damascus in the book of Acts
9:1-8 acknowledges his humanity, his need for growth, his shortcomings and
growing edges, those unspeakable things that would deny the Good News of Jesus
Christ in his life, yet it is his complete and uncompromising focus, that
extravagant attention to God’s grace that sets aside those things that would
hinder God’s Call upon his life. <i><u>The Apostle Paul’s faith became bigger
than his fear</u>. </i>The Christian faith is about fully apprehending the grace
of God through Christ Jesus and allowing that grace to transform our lives and
implications for the love and glory of God. <i><u>Grace will not leave you
where it found you.</u></i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> Extravagant
attention to God’s grace is about cultivating loving intimacy with God. From
that intimacy, there emerges a gradual and persistent deep hope and freedom in
Christ that avails a prophetic imagination formerly unseen that overcomes
structures, systems, and agents of injustice and the evil perpetrated to seize
the day for the Good News of Jesus Christ. The spiritual disciplines of prayer,
meditation, studying scripture, Christ-centered covenantal relationships, being
a part of a community of faith, being active in your faith so your faith would
be fresh and not risk becoming hard and stale, and most importantly self-care, are
essential in this spirit filled endeavor. This process has the potential to awaken
the Christian to what Gary Cummins, author of <i>If Only We Could See, Mystical
Vision and Societal Transformation</i>, calls the “God Realm or the Kindom of
God for which Christians work and wait and pray, and God’s revolution.” Amidst
a social order that struggles to embrace the fullness of humanity <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span> </span><span> </span>Thirdly we have Irene, known as St. Irene of Macedonia in the
Eastern Church. According to the writings of the scribe John the Stylite, Irene
was baptized in the first century by Timothy after he received a letter from the
Apostle Paul and became an evangelist. She was initially betrothed to be
married but the call of Christ was so heavy upon her that she chose not to get
married but to be baptized with oil and water and to preach a defiant sermon to
her father, the King of Magedo and other high-ranking men, proclaiming herself
to be the bride of Christ. Here is a woman who defied the norms of her society
and her father’s desire to give her complete and total life to the call of
Christ Jesus. When her Father was killed, she turned to the east, lifted her
hands high, prayed, and like the male Apostles who raised the dead in their acts
– she raised her Father to life. St. Irene converted 10,000 pagans, by
traveling to various cities, “preaching about Christ and working miracles,
healing the sick and she baptized 130,000 souls by her own hand. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> She made the
deaf hear, she opened the eyes of the blind, she cleansed the lepers, and
healed all who were in pain. The narrative concludes with Irene dying in the
city of Ephesus where she did many cures and miracles in the name of Jesus
Christ. Similar to other Apostles St. Irene was incarcerated, tortured, and martyred.
In all of this, there is an extravagant attention that is unwavering. </span>Today the Church continues to be steadfast and focused as it moves
forward in the everlasting hope of Christ Jesus because there are Christians
who focus and refocus as needed, and who don’t succumb to the desires of this
world. While there are those who have fallen for Christian Nationalism and its
rejection of Jesus Christ as left-wing and woke, who cause American Christianity
to be characterized as antithetical to the Good News of Jesus Christ there are
many more whose eyes are fixed on the call of God through Christ Jesus and the power
of the Holy Spirit. They focus and refocus on the teachings of Jesus Christ;
they do the spiritual disciplines, they engage in a covenant community of
faith, they take time out for their faith and what Civil Rights Icon and member
of Congress Rev. John Lewis (1940-2020) called “Good Trouble.” For those
engaged in “Good Trouble,” the words of John Lewis become a meditation on the
life of Jesus Christ. They are an invitation to encounter the overwhelming
attention of a God who responds to the many needs of humanity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> I find the
Advent season, the six weeks of Lent ending with Holy Week and then Easter
Sunday, taking time out of our busy schedules to nurture and strengthen our
faith to be necessary ways that focus and refocus our attention on God’s grace.
Amidst the unsettling time we are living through we should make this a
priority. I invite you to engage in three things, (1) Nourish your soul If possibly make it a priority in your
life. Be careful to feed your soul with good nutritious spiritual food (2) Reflect
on what keeps you engaged and active in Christianity? and (3) Reflect on the

Are religion and faith only credible when a conservative Christian baker or website designer has the desire to discriminate based on their religious beliefs? I know plenty of same-sex couples who are just as religious and faithful as those Christians who use the Bible primarily as a tool to give credibility to their desire to hate, discriminate, and dehumanize.<div><div><br /></div><div>This continues a long and tragic strain of "faith" and "religion" used to legitimize the evil and its productions of the genocide of the American Indian, the enslavement of the African Americans, Jim Crow, lynching, Japanese Internment, the school-to-prison pipeline, and housing discrimination, ie., red lining. just to name a few. These represent twisted biblical interpretations founded in the slaveholder religion. Slaveholder religion was designed to give legitimacy to the enslavement of Africans for economic gain. This is the "faith" and "religion many conservative Christians profess. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court necessarily expresses this "faith" and "religion: founded on the backs of the enslaved and genocide.</div><div><br /></div><div>I cannot and will not separate the latest decisions of the conservative majority on the Supreme Court from this history they<span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> and their benefactors </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">would soon have me and others forget. Their decisions bolster a "faith" and "religion" rooted in the slaveholder religion making life more precarious and less free for those on the margins such as the LGBTQIA2+ community. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;">Their decisions give cover to those who desire to practice hatred, bigotry, and evil reminiscent of the Klan and Bull Connor. I ponder where these decisions come from. What is in their hearts? In this time of immorality, when care and concern, even hospitality is not welcomed and diversity and equity are shunned by many I ponder where the law begins and its purpose. </span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-5365815994778327672022-08-25T23:04:00.010-07:002023-10-19T06:00:27.860-07:00Does Anyone Hear Me: Listening at the Well, The necessity of Listening in difficult times<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Considering the time we are living
through, with its moral and ethical catastrophe as well as a prophetic hope
rooted in an uncommon faith, the ground of justice, it is important to examine
three components of the Christian tradition. The first one is our relationship
with Jesus Christ of Nazareth the only begotten son of the Living God,
secondly, our relationships with family, friends, coworkers, church, and those
we may have a disagreement with and thirdly listening to the voice of God which
may manifest in unexpected places. The voice of God is in creation, its God’s
word, it is in the prophets and apostles, it is in God’s ministry. Of the three components, I want to focus on
is active listening. Active Listening is important because our relationship with
God and community, that is our communion, is made alive with active
listening. </span> <br /><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span> </span><span> </span>Active listening is an invitation to
encounter the humanity of the person first as a child of God, God’s sacred
pleasure. It is about radically inclusive hospitality that opens hearts and
minds to the spirit of God. It can be a most intimate and intoxicating affair
if the Christian chooses to put their desires for power and privilege,
assumptions, biases, preconceived notions, and socialization aside to know the
person beyond societal and class structures that seek to dictate much of the
human experience and condition. An example of this happens in John 4:1-42. The
biblical text depicts Jesus, traveling through Samaria on his way to Galilee,
sitting down at the well in Sychar, and talking to an unnamed Samaritan woman
at the well. </span>After Jesus talked to the woman at the
well, she appeared to have been astounded at how Jesus knew such truths about
her. As she told the other Samaritans, “He told me everything I ever did” (v. 39).
Intrigued, they approached Jesus, and He stayed in their town for two days
talking with them. Here is a woman and her community that felt heard. This
would seem to be the underlying question of our time, “Do you feel heard?” <br /><span> </span><span> </span>This is the model of listening I seek
to follow as a Christian. Active listening requires time, patience, humbleness,
a desire for healing, and a heart of generosity. Most of all, the Christian
must want to listen. “Do you want to actively listen?” Many of the issues and concerns of church and
society could be addressed if active listening, to encounter humanity were
practiced. I suppose what I am arguing for is the reception of humanity as a
primary call to listen and the issues and concerns to be secondary. The first
question of church and society should be, “Do You See Me?” “Do I have your
attention?” I am mindful of the words of Simone Weil, “Attention is the rarest
and purest form of generosity” which engages these questions. What I glean from the text is both
Jesus and the woman are courageous in their attention to each other. This is
not a one-sided conversation but an intimate sharing that breaks strict
cumbersome boundaries that maintain the marginalization and oppression of the
unnamed Samaritan woman and her community. The conversation at the well
violates the boundaries which represent unjust cultural assumptions, and a
politics, rooted in patriarchy, that denies a full and thriving Samaritan
humanity. <br /><span> </span><span> </span>It would appear, that if we are to live
fully in the Christian faith, that is to humbly seek to walk in the footsteps
of Jesus of Nazareth, active listening more so than speaking would be a primary
calling of the Christian. James 1:19 says, “Let every person be quick to hear,
slow to speak, slow to anger.” Saint Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the Gospel
Always, and if necessary, use Words.” Amidst a fast-paced society where trauma
is a norm, where desires for instant gratification, the rise of Christian
Nationalism, culture wars, authoritarianism, extreme individualism, and the war
against a woman’s bodily autonomy and the LGBTQIA+ community are legislative
imperatives, the words of James and St. Francis would be wise council. The biblical text for today calls us
to develop an appreciation once again for active listening amidst a society
where there is great fear of active listening, particularly active listening
practiced by the Woman at the Well and Jesus. Failure to actively listen
becomes an opportunity for weeds to flourish and thrive, choking out the grace
and mercy provided through the cosmic sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the
Cross. <br /><span> </span><span> </span>In a time when theological malpractice
is rampant, when injustice and cruelty, for many Christians, have become an
article of faith, the confessing Christian is called to be mindful of what and
who they are listening to. The art of listening keeps the Christian attuned to
the Holy Spirit. I long for a time when listening is
embraced and appreciated more so than speaking. This may be a long wait. I
imagine a time when everybody takes on the responsibility to listen, with
intention, to their family members, neighbors, coworkers, friends, and most
importantly, those they might have a disagreement with. To be inclusive in
their listening is a hallmark of the human experience. A pandemic, an
insurrection, rising suicide rates, a politics unhinged more than usual, and
mass shootings, are reminders of the importance of listening to hear the voice
of the divine amidst those lost in fear, loathing, depression, pain, and
hatred. If the Church is going to successfully navigate a process of spiritual
and religious renewal, listening must be an essential element. </div>The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-87264574054648471452022-08-20T18:40:00.003-07:002022-08-20T18:40:32.054-07:00The Call to Prophetic Spirituality<p> </p><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW113051808 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW113051808 BCX8" paraeid="{25b6c858-75af-450e-a713-f9a365a1dce6}{175}" paraid="1278387243" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy4WuqrjRl1I69wKKPdXiygKm2G3ZYu7Ouhf4Vg0598g4vEJ2SKKWvHI_z3dbpI7lJS59DM1krmUHAkKjHDSZe3Y0neUkX4RN7RNrWG2xW_xns60eGsflO8yGXNVGK3t-tr11j3xkaUBF69bl4Lph7Yav4HAnDJJmj5r1seEkueYX8t9M5VW6ZGQP4" style="background-color: transparent; clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="272" data-original-width="204" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgy4WuqrjRl1I69wKKPdXiygKm2G3ZYu7Ouhf4Vg0598g4vEJ2SKKWvHI_z3dbpI7lJS59DM1krmUHAkKjHDSZe3Y0neUkX4RN7RNrWG2xW_xns60eGsflO8yGXNVGK3t-tr11j3xkaUBF69bl4Lph7Yav4HAnDJJmj5r1seEkueYX8t9M5VW6ZGQP4" width="180" /></a><span class="TextRun SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Roboto_EmbeddedFont, Roboto_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US">May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.</span><span class="TextRun SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-US" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN-US"> </span>My last message I shared was Freedom in Christ.

Smith, author of Howard Thurman’s essential writings, is, “How can I believe that life has meaning if I do not believe that my own life has meaning in a new and revolutionary way and that it is the ground of liberation and freedom in Christ Jesus?”</span><span class="EOP SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":360}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW113051808 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW113051808 BCX8" paraeid="{25b6c858-75af-450e-a713-f9a365a1dce6}{221}" paraid="776004938" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: 48px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="TextRun SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN"> Howard Thurman’s motivating question amidst the daily demands of this life, the joys, concerns, and the many growing edges of our life's is a reminder that each of us must see our life and the life of our neighbor as meaningful and valuable. One way to discover the meaning and value of our lives is through journaling our autobiography. This is something I began to do at the advice of my therapist as I grappled with life’s changes. Journaling our autobiography is a way to see how our life is connected to spirituality. It is about finding ourselves and how the spirit of God is moving in our lives. For many people of faith journaling their autobiography is important in developing an inner awareness, and a different more liberated consciousness as a matter of religious experience, as they seek to know life in its fullest possible grace or significance.</span><span class="EOP SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":360}" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;"> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW113051808 BCX8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: white; clear: both; cursor: text; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; user-select: text;"><p class="Paragraph SCXW113051808 BCX8" paraeid="{25b6c858-75af-450e-a713-f9a365a1dce6}{227}" paraid="1717973329" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; font-kerning: none; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: 48px; user-select: text; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="TextRun SCXW113051808 BCX8" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; -webkit-user-drag: none; color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 28.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text;" xml:lang="EN">In the face of unjust and inhumane legislation and policies we read about in Isaiah 10:1-3 and put forward by those who embrace an authoritarian church and political regime statements such as Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, statements on diversity which are reminiscent of “I am Somebody” and an fuller accounting of America history are about meaning and value.

This is how we can remain hopeful in the face of circumstances and situations that seem hopeless. Prophetic Spirituality puts forward a compelling radical truth that God is in solidarity with those who are poor, low wealth, the working class, those who are houseless and living in poverty and many more who are struggling, some in silence.

Holy Desire. Holy desire is a desire that emerges out of our relationship with
God through Christ Jesus.</span><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">
“Holy Desire” is that seed of love that inspires people to take action to serve
and please the Holy One, God! Holy desire is the deep longing for God, and for
the things that please God. It is</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> a state of mind and soul that purposes all things great and
small towards the nurture of our relationship with God. It is profoundly
liberating, opening our hearts to radical inclusion, to exhibit a
life-affirming passion for God’s creation in the face of evil, sin, injustice, and their tragic consequences and implications. Luke 4:1-13 is this proclamation
of Holy Desire as Jesus, the son of God and full of the Holy Spirit, affirms
his father’s love in the face of the three temptations of Satan. <i>It is how
he got over.</i></span></div></span></div></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The three temptations are aimed
directly at the heart of Jesus’ identity. </span><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">Twice (vv. 3,9) Satan begins his temptation by calling into
question Jesus’ identity as the Son of God with the words “<i>if</i> you are
the Son of God” followed by a challenge to prove this identity with some
miraculous display (stone into bread (v. 3); a dramatic angelic rescue from
death (vv. 9-11)). In the first 3 chapters of Luke, Jesus’ identity was
confirmed by Mary, Elizabeth, Simeon, Anna, John the Baptist, and the genealogy
in Luke 3. Jesus did not have to do anything to prove his identity or to earn
commendation as the Son of God. He is declared to be the one who will bring
salvation to his people. <i>It was not what Jesus could do; it was who he was. </i>To
do justice, to heal the sick, to bring sight to the sight-impaired, raising
Lazarus from the dead, to alleviate the pressing concerns of mental health even
the feeding of thousands, while a life-changing alleviating tragedy, it was not
the point, more so it was the question of allegiance. Jesus could still do
those things, even some form of salvation, but in allegiance to Satan, the
authority of the world (Luke 4:5) which Jesus rejected. </span><span face=""system-ui", serif" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">This passage puts in mind Matthew
7:21-23 that says, <b><sup>21 </sup></b>Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord,
Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven. <i>Simply calling Me “Lord” will not
be enough.</i> Only those who do the will of My Father who is in heaven <i>will
join Me in heaven.</i> <b><sup>22 </sup></b><i>At the end of time,</i> on that
day <i>of judgment</i>, many will say to Me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy
in Your name? Did we not drive demons out <i>of the possessed</i> in Your name?
Did we not perform miracles in Your name?” <b><sup>23 </sup></b>But I will say
to them, “I never knew you. And now, you must get away from Me, you evildoers!”
The work we do, the ministries that change people’s lives must grow out of our
love for God and nothing else. Another point I want to acknowledge is that the
saving grace of Luke 4:1-13 appears in Hebrews 4:15, “For we do not have a high
priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in
every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin.” Having gone through
his own temptations, Jesus knows what we experience. </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Poppins; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Poppins;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">Now Satan repeatedly tempts Jesus through
scripture to display his identity in self-serving ways that would undermine his
identity as the Son who relies on the good gifts of the Father. Let me be clear
here, Satan knows scripture. Satan knows the Bible cover to cover and cannot be
fooled. Both Jesus and the devil quote Scripture. In response to temptation,
Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy, but it is not enough to know Scripture. Satan,
who quotes from Psalm 91, also knows Scripture. Satan is very well able to
manifest a church that denies the power of radically inclusive love for the
sake of unfettered violent power, so we must be careful to consider this as we
reflect on the meaning and presence of church this Lenten season. Considering
such matters, what makes the difference? Where is the hope? Luke 4:1, says,
Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. The Christian, the one
who sincerely and humbly, seeks to follow in the footsteps of Jesus must be
full of the Holy Spirit as promised by Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God. All
the Spiritual Practices matter little unless the Christian is filled with the
authentic power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer, meditation, fasting, reading, and knowing
scripture at the level of heart and soul, self-examination, even the grace to
discernment, as necessary for a strong and steadfast faith as they are, cannot
contend with Satan unless one is filled with the Holy Spirit. </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Poppins; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Poppins;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">The
Bible tells us, in the Old Testament teachings and the life and teachings of
Jesus that the Christian has been promised the Holy Spirit. Joel 2:28-29, says,
</span><span face=""system-ui", serif" style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the temptation of Jesus in Luke 4:1-13. It is not what we know, how much
education we have, the banning of books like “The beloved,” All Boys Aren’t
Blue, The Bluest Eye or even a fuller more accurate accounting of American
history and the discomfort it might cause, is not the problem, more so it is
who we are that is the great insult to Satan’s principalities and powers of
Ephesians 6:12 reflected throughout much of American history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Spring
Renewals, like our Fall Retreats, are a sacred time for Women to take a break,
breath, pray, reflect, connect with diverse spirit-filled sisters in the faith.
Most importantly it is a time of courageous rest. As the Minister of Women’s
Ministries, I am extremely blessed to be a part of a Women’s Council that is in
communion with the Women in the Region, that makes space for all Women to share
their joys, concerns, and burdens. This year the theme was “I’ve Got a Testimony.” Our keynote speaker was the Rev. Dr. Katrina
Marsh. Listening to the testimonies of Women and the keynote, what emerged was
love, trust, believing, and having a living and active hope in God. It <a name="_Int_nr3BrVRh">brought to mind</a> the words, “How I Got Over.” We see how Jesus Got Over, “how do we get
over?” We Get Over with Holy Desire. We
Get Over with the Power of the Holy Spirit. We Get Over it because we have Jesus
Christ who knows what it is like to be tempted by Satan. We Get Over because we
are, you and I, are God’s love and desire. Let me say it this way, God Desires
You. God pursues you. Can you see it, do you not perceive it, God desires you,
God longs for you. God‘s love is unconditional. This is salvation, this is joy
and a peace that passes all understanding. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">Holy Desire rests in our acceptance of God’s extravagant
unconditional love. It is through the acceptance of this truth that we overcome
the tragedies and temptations in this life. This is one reason Communion is so
important. It recenters us into God’s extravagant, even lavish love. It is
God’s Great Hospitality that strengthens us for the coming week. As we journey
through this Lenten season may we bask in God’s love.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

One more guy like Trump getting off is nothing new. It's just not surprising to me or anyone else I know who follows U.S. history. Yet there is hope that the rest of us, the citizens of a multi-racial and multi-cultural democracy can be immovable in our pursuit of a just democracy. This might mean running for office, starting a non-profit, focused on concerns of justice, becoming a community organizer, or other interests that support a 240-year-old democracy. Letting your voice be heard near and far. You see, white supremacy will rarely be held accountable because it is the political and economic ground of power of an American caste system. Anti-racism classes, classes on a complete and accurate American history not beholden to a pseudo-history, and laws that curtail white supremacist policies must be on the table. We must continue to raise a generation of Americans profoundly opposed to racism in all its forms. More so we must continue to build an anti-racist, pro-reconciling church that supports educational institutions that stand for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice along with programs that lift mental health needs brought on by a hyper-violent exploitative society from a concern of law enforcement to one for mental health professionals.</p><p><br /></p>The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-26158879814119709282021-01-11T19:43:00.005-08:002021-01-11T20:01:17.511-08:00Finding Calm Amidst the Storming of the U.S. Capitol<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For such as
time as this we are called to speak a prophetic truth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I share
today’s message in light of the latest iteration of an ugly truth that has
dogged this nation from its founding, one that was on full display for the
world to see. Whatever good this nation has done in its 245 years, and there
has been some good, it has been plagued by injustice, sin, evil and violence. These
have been employed in the service of those who embrace the evil of white
supremacy, white nationalism and a dangerous myth of Jesus, the foundation of the
slaveholder’s religion, the terrible root of Christian Nationalism, that desecrated
the U.S. Capitol building forcing lawmakers to evacuate with some fearing for
their lives, while some insurrectionist urged on by a rogue president carried
the confederate flag throughout the building. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-8WG_TWR1ZiwwNtAAZUJt4GlryxbTnu5SD4AdEGIYBGGRoMPYYMKCJT-AaxPhqgbe2Xogt2YwuZ4HhuyDkFkrX7GyGIGryvXRGYrFCgz41n_aOI32ukGy84jOU8WuIHUuZ2bousBFkZo/s880/The+White+Mob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="528" data-original-width="880" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-8WG_TWR1ZiwwNtAAZUJt4GlryxbTnu5SD4AdEGIYBGGRoMPYYMKCJT-AaxPhqgbe2Xogt2YwuZ4HhuyDkFkrX7GyGIGryvXRGYrFCgz41n_aOI32ukGy84jOU8WuIHUuZ2bousBFkZo/s320/The+White+Mob.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As we
solemnly reflect on the events of this past Wednesday, the 6<sup>th</sup> of
January, we should also reflect on the historical events of The Wilmington
Riots, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Roseville, The riots of 1919, The Klan marching down
the streets of Washington, D. C. brazenly in the early 1900’s and black men and
women who fought for a nation that committed violence upon those who did not comfort
a narrow and sick imagination. A few years ago, when I went to the Disciples of
Christ National Convocation held in Selma, Alabama, Janice Ewing and I took a
side trip to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery. It is a
sprawling memorial where you can see the names of more than 4400 African
American men, women, and children and courageous white allies who were hanged,
burned alive, shot, drowned, and beaten to death by white mobs between 1877 and
1950. The older I get the more I appreciate the history that mom and dad made
sure my sister and I knew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>History,
particularly American history is always part of the discussion I have with my
mother and with Nick and Kacy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Survival in
this nation means to know your history.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Now I have
heard some say, they were surprised, astonished, I could not imagine this would
happen, or this is not who America is. They seem oblivious to the facts of
American life as they listen to certain propaganda that gradually strips them
of their humanity. Fact is, many people, knew, the moment Hillary Clinton lost
the election in 2016 that this nation, this fragile yet resilient democracy was
in for a rough authoritarian facist racist anti-immigrant ride begun in
birtherism. Yet it has been the case in American political history that the
election of a progressive politician, particularly one like Barack Obama is
always followed by a reactionary politics of make America great again. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once again, those who are students of American
history are not surprised. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Even 4
former presidents from both parties had comments. Former President Barack Obama
commented, “This is a moment of great dishonor and shame for the nation”, Former
President George Bush commented, “It was a sickening and heart-breaking sight”,
Former President Bill Clinton commented, “Today we faced an unprecedented
assault on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our country," he said in a
statement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">"The
assault was fueled by more than four years of poison politics spreading
deliberate misinformation, sowing distrust in our system, and pitting Americans
against one another," Clinton wrote. "The match was lit by Donald
Trump and his most ardent enablers, including many in Congress, to overturn the
results of an election he lost. "Former president Jimmy Carter commented, “A
National Tragedy.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Carol
Anderson, author of the book White Rage commented, “This is a consequence that
has been years in the making. At every moment in American history, this country
has had chances to deal with white rage that “has undermined democracy, warped
the Constitution, weakened the nation’s ability to compete economically,
squandered billions of dollars on baseless incarceration, rendered an entire
region sick, poor, and woefully undereducated, and left cities nothing less
than decimated.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Meanwhile, the
state of Georgia, home of the formerly Jim Crow and staunchly racist South
elected its first black senator in the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the pastor of
Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of Martin Luther King, Jr. and John
Lewis and its first Jewish senator, Jon Ossoff a protégé of John Lewis, courtesy
of the political organizing of Stacey Abrams and others and with that, flipping
the senate to democratic control with the deciding vote being Vice President
elect Kamala Harris, a black Woman of Indian and Jamaican decent born and
raised right here in Oakland as well the most diverse, gender balanced cabinet
in U.S. history. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, while there is a
broad religious political coalition that supports authoritarian anti-democratic
policies of deception, misinformation, disinformation and ignorance perpetrated
upon the people, with the help of a right-wing propaganda machine, the good and
noble truth is that a multiracial democracy, begun in the 1960’s when a people from
diverse racial identities and backgrounds came together is moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Storm we
witnessed this past Wednesday, January the 6<sup>th</sup>, is a reminder that trusting
in God is our greatest hope and strength. Prayer, fasting, meditating, reading
our bible in community, the gifts of the spirit and radically inclusive
hospitality are here because of the radical love of Jesus of Nazareth, to
strengthen our trust in God. Matt 8:23-27 reminds us that Jesus calms the storm,
bringing peace to our souls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When wild
and crazy times happen like it did on Wednesday, our relationship with Jesus keep
us strong and steady protecting us from the schemes of evil. Our relationship
with Jesus shapes our worldview, allowing us to see God doing new, miraculous
and glorious things as well as the violent death of cultures and systems of evil.
And love, the kind of love Jesus lived, is about looking clearly at the
situation without pretense and working on a solution. It involves critique,
analysis, relationships and actions grounded in the radically inclusive truth
of God shaped by the pain, suffering and hope of the people. It is not about employing
injustice, sin and evil through lies that hurt millions of people for selfish cultural,
economic and political gain during a pandemic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Each of us
must nurture our relationship with Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ to ensure that
we do not find ourselves in relationship the myth of Jesus, the foundation of the
Slaveholder’s religion. We must study our bible, making sure we are reading a life-giving
interpretation, and embrace Jesus of Nazareth the one who died at a state
execution because he cared for the people, and was raised from the dead because
of God’s love. We must be vigilant in our faith!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Witnessing
the mob desecrate the Capitol building and hearing the interviews that were
done with those who participated in the insurrection, the common thread was no
one is listening to us, our way of life is dying, and we had to do something. These
were signs of desperation as a way of life is gradually and steadily dying,
root and all resulting in a hopelessness that allows the lies of an impeached
president to take hold on their psyche. As ugly and embarrassing as the
insurrection was on Wednesday we needed to clearly see where our fellow Americans
were mentally, emotionally, spiritually and the healing that needs to take
place. It can be difficult to understand death, dying and transition. Logic,
reason, seemingly rational arguments have no sway during this time. As many of
them are being held accountable this must be the base of that accountability
and if needed to offer psychological and spiritual help during incarceration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Since
Wednesday, I have had this vision of a really big tree. It is old, rotting and
dying and the fellers, those called to the process of cutting down the tree are
there. They fell the big tree and what is left is the stump. Now stumps are notoriously
hard to remove requiring special tools for removal. If the stump is not removed
it will begin to sprout anew. The whole stump and its deep complex root system have
to be removed and thrown into the fire. If you have seen this process it is
very involved and can be expensive but necessary for new life. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">We are living
through challenging times that may strike fear within yet trusting in God will
make away and actually pour out the hope of Jesus in our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Amen!<o:p></o:p></span></p>The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-43255331495661729132020-02-01T12:05:00.001-08:002020-02-01T12:05:16.612-08:00Pushing back against the indoctrination of EmpireI haven't posted since February 2019 so its about time I posted.<br />
<br />
Well 2019 was very active. Speaking, workshops, travel have been good but I like my own bed. I like my bed in my small place because I can rest and rejuvenate from the darts and arrows coming from many well meaning people who don't have a clue that I encounter each day. For those who say, "Monica they won't know unless you teach them" please don't say the words to me again unless you are using your body to teach. Each day as I go out to argue ma case for an inclusive society I encounter how well the slaveholder, the capitalist and yes a theology have done. Surely empire begins in the mind as the principalities indoctrinate people in not thinking or not thinking critically.<br />
As I walk out of my building I encounter people talking about the upcoming superbowl. I say hi and one person acknowledges my greeting but the others look the other way or just walk away. I am mindful that the indoctrination of empire is strong and even insurmountable for some yet amidst the tragic affair of indoctrination II am called to be that sacred vessel of openness and hospitality. In this I push back on the indoctrination of empire in a real sustained presence.The transgender scholarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13511814499242507784noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703188876352676327.post-3976107351315291602019-02-21T07:55:00.000-08:002019-02-21T07:56:41.413-08:00We ignore the present political situation at our perilThe U.S. is in the middle of a cyber warfare which seeks to deepen the polarization of political ideologies. The tools are social media, frameworks of disinformation which embolden a wilful ignorance meant to enable and empower bad actors such as Donald Trump and domestic terrorist groups. You might say that a type of civil war is being prosecuted on the United States by groups such as the white nationalist, white supremacist, kkk, the arian nation, neo-nazi's, neo-fascist, and other domestic terrorist groups identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center and certain constituencies of the NRA. We ignore these matters at our peril. There are monied interests which support these domestic terrorist groups. Monied Interests, including their allie Russia, which may not like a multicultural, multi-racial multi-ethnic dynamic country. We can only ignore this reality for so long. The sooner we acknowledge this reality the sooner we can stand against it. I write this post not as a means to trigger or scare, but to acknowledge what is happening right now.<br />
<br />
Of course as a person of faith I live each day knowing that God is still in control. This belief may really be tested in the coming days.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Amidst the tragic there
are those who shoulder an unsustainable burden of profound injustice compelling
concerns and issues regarding healthcare, drug addiction, including opioid addiction,
suicide, mass shootings, and a politics unhinged and in service to the
aristocracy, their wealth, cares and concerns</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">at the expense of the proletariat
or working class. The consequences of a politics in service to the aristocracy
is one which advocates for wealth and not the worker, increases homelessness,
increases poverty, increases the rolls of the unemployed, and a higher
education too expensive to afford without student loans. When I look at the
various programs at risk in the present administration I see programs which provide
hope to tens of millions of people across the nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A popular notion in media circles is “post
truth”, that America is in a post truth, post fact era. What I suggest here is
that the present regime is prosecuting a political deconstruction of hope.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The deconstruction of
hope, as an ethical and political principle, is the intentional political action,
inaction or concern to put at risk programs and policies meant to make the
life’s of millions of American life’s better. It is about budgets which cater
exclusively to the donor class, the military industrial complex, the prison
industrial complex and parties which coopt many in the Church who call
themselves Christian, and other institutions as means towards injustice at the
expense of the American citizen-worker. According to an article written by
David Tagbu, entitled “How Christianity got co-opted and we got Trump, 80%
percent of evangelicals pulled the lever for Mr. Trump endorsing his policies
and programs, such as an immigration policy which separates children from their
parents, seemingly antithetical to the teachings and meditations of the Bible
and of Jesus Christ. Of course while the tools may be new, i.e. the internet, computers,
the American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC, which works to shape laws in
favor of business interests at the expense of workers and labor unions, etc.,
i.e. the means to inflict injustice, corruption, unethical practices, sin and
evil are not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bible is clear
regarding the ongoing actions and policies endorsed and advocated for by many
in the Church, the administration, its supporters and enablers.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Isaiah 1:17 reminds us
to “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the
fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” Zechariah 7:9-10 “Thus says the Lord of
hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not
oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of
you devise evil against another in your heart” and Jeremiah 22:3 “Thus says the
Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor
him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the
fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.”</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Isaiah, Zechariah, and
Jeremiah present not just words on a page written as the spirit gave utterance
but more so we encounter the desires and concerns of God in covenant with Israel
and Judah. Throughout the scriptures we see God concerned with the needy, the
poor, the enslaved, those on the margins of empire. Woe to the people or
nation, even a Church which disregards the clear unmistakable desires of
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we consider God to be consistent
we should not mistake God’s love and patience as some type of permission
allowing or giving a pass for a disregard of holy and sacred concerns and
desires.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a day of reckoning
coming.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And many nations will
pass by this city, and all of them will say one to another, “Why has the Lord
dealt in this way with that great city?” And they will answer, “Because they
abandoned the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">covenant</i> of the Lord
their God, and worshiped other gods and served them.”</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The covenant of God
with Israel, Judah and I would suggest other nations, like the U.S., who have
received God’s grace, rests in how they treat the other, those on the margins,
the poor, the homeless, the stranger, the different abled, even the children. The
covenant, as exemplified by Jesus is not about the powerful, the rich, or the
mighty. The covenant is not about the aristocracy of empire but the working
class, the proletariat, yet by grace the aristocracy too may enter into this
covenant regardless of the difficulty, reflecting here on the rich young ruler
in the Gospels. A great people and nation who disregard God’s word, i.e. the
covenant, will fall, this is God’s promise. Proverbs 3:34 reminds us that God
has no use for a conceited people, but shows favor to those who are humble and
James 4:6 which reminds us “But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As
the scripture says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jeremiah, the weeping
prophet in 29:11 and Isaiah, the prophet in 40:31, presents God’s appeal to the
people of Israel and Judah in their political crisis and Babylonian captivity
to once again trust in God and thus to be hopeful once again. Amidst the
sorrows of Israel and Judah, God honors a covenant rooted in the cares and
concerns of the other and the less fortunate, never giving up on being the hope
of Israel, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judah, and I would suggest humanity
as a whole.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Similar to Reinhold
Niebuhr, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., Josiah Royce, which Gideon and
I are reading for class, Maya Angelou, and even James Baldwin, The question for
us today is, “how to respond or appeal to a society, culture and Church in
crisis? The seriousness of this present human condition warrants a provocative
response to our foundational text Ecclesiastes 1:9 and its implications. Surely
this particular text and its implications should not be the fate of human
existence. There must be some means of escape, some route to liberation from
the tragic opera of Faustian import.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Maya Angelou said, “I’m

my goodness you’re fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The words of Maya
Angelou give me pause as her wisdom unsettles long standing assumptions of
empire, colonization and indoctrination. I encounter Maya Angelou’s wisdom as I
read Philippians 3:7-16, the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church at Philippi.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Yet whatever gains I
had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I
regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ
Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I
regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him,
not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that
comes through faith in Christ,[a] the righteousness from God based on faith. I
want to know Christ[b] and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his
sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the
resurrection from the dead.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Not that I have already
obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take
hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do
not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward
the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ
Jesus. </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Paul’s longing for
Christ, his intense, even erotic journey for Christ became his hope lived out
and in the process birth of the Church. Because of this hope he nurtured the fledgling
and complicated early church.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The question of the
Christian faith is, “Have you apprehended Christ Jesus and thus a hope eternal?”
Not in the colonizing or capitalist sense, God forbid, but of the soul? Grace,
mercy, salvation, the crucifixion, and even the resurrection are means to the
apprehension of Christ Jesus and not an end to themselves. In the apprehension
of Christ Jesus we find a hope rooted in God’s love, not politics, wealth or
religious affiliation. It is a hope deep in the human soul which becomes the sustenance
and the ground of struggle for liberation from the interlocking oppressions and
systems which daily seek to devalue a sacred Inviolable humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope works for the day the apprehension of
Christ Jesus becomes manifest and thus our liberation sure and undeniable.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Without a minimum of
hope, we cannot so much as start the struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But without the struggle, hope, as an ontological need, dissipates, loses
it bearings, and turns into hopelessness.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hope is always connected to an issue, concern or struggle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To see the Cross in this light, the light of
the hope Jesus had for Humanity the Cross becomes a somewhat queer center of
hope with implications we live today. </span></b></div>

is not comfortable or easy. Hope requires personal risk. It is not about the
right attitude. Hope is not about peace of mind. Hope is action. Hope is doing
something. The more futile, the more useless, the more irrelevant and
incomprehensible an act of rebellion is, the vaster and more potent hope
becomes.” </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Despite the dullness
and barrenness of the days that pass, if I search with due diligence, I can
always find a deposit left by some former radiance. But I had forgotten. At the
time it was full-orbed, glorious, and resplendent. I was sure that I would
never forget. In the moment of its fullness, I was sure that it would illumine
my path for all the rest of my journey. I had forgotten how easy it is to
forget.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There was no intent to
betray what seemed so sure at the time. My response was whole, clean,
authentic. But little by little, there crept into my life the dust and grit of
the journey. Details, lower-level demands, all kinds of cross currents —
nothing momentous, nothing overwhelming, nothing flagrant — just wear and tear.
If there had been some direct challenge –a clear-cut issue — I would have
fought it to the end, and beyond.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the quietness of
this place, surrounded by the all-pervading Presence of God, my heart whispers:
Keep fresh before me the moments of my High Resolve, that in fair weather or in
foul, in good times or in tempests, in the days when the darkness and the foe
are nameless or familiar, I may not forget that to which my life is committed.”</span></b></div>

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it
is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in
evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.</div>

Trump’s choice to be an associate Justice on the Supreme Court, presents one
more example of the immoral and uncivil as white male patriarchy, i.e., white
men with power, seek to do all they can to regain white male dominance after
eight years of Barack Obama, the first black President of the United
States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than just a reaction to the
Obama Administrations policies, the Trump presidency is a rejection of those
policies as a means to push back and reclaim an ideology of whiteness as a
dominant policy position. All administrations pursue their own policies
doctrines, and agendas, yet the Trump administration has gone so far to the
extreme right that its policies present a moral deficit, as it rapes the heart
and soul of the republic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Trump
administration is purely an uncivil reaction to an administration which, for
the most part, had a profoundly ethical and civil discourse on politics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was and is different from an
administration full of scandals, unethical practices and an indecent discourse
on politics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would venture to say that
the Trump administration is the most nasty, corrupt administration I’ve seen in
my lifetime, even compared with Nixon and Watergate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, his supporters, the 30% or so of the electorate
will be with him even if, as he says, he shoots somebody on fifth avenue,
preferably in New York City. They believe and follow him as their messiah
noting that a few books such as Trump Prophesies by Mark Taylor are big sellers
on Amazon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For them, he can do no wrong.
I suppose his supporters feel some type of vindication after eight years of a
Black Man as President in the White House. Indeed, this is racism although only
a fool, the KKK, white nationalist or neo Nazi’s would admit it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has been bad for the Democratic Party as
it lost over 1000 seats in legislatures across the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, to make matters worse, the 30%
feel they were betrayed once again by the neo liberal politics of the Democrats
as they ran a White Woman after having a Black Man as President. I suppose if
Hillary Clinton had won the plantation, at some level would have been in
tatters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Donald Trump is a product of betrayal and messiness by the
Democrats and other neo-liberal and progressive groups.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think the Democrats had a way out,
particularly after their emails were hacked by the Russians at the behest of
the Trump campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, unlike
the criminal operatives, in this era of the internet and Facebook, covered
their tracks well. What I mean by betrayal is that the Democrats political sin
was to run a Black man for president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After 231 years of white male presidents any imagination or thought of a
Black Man being president beyond the shadows of slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, segregation,
discrimination, a Civil Rights Movement and an assassination of a King were just
too much to bare for a white population indoctrinated as such. White male presidents
represented the power structure and the majority as ordained, in the minds of
the 30% by their god, bringing about a reflection on James Cone’s “The Cross
and the Lynching Tree.”<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barack Obama, for all the good he did,
was perceived as a betrayal of those racial values Trump’s 30% believes
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was, for the 30%, ultimately a
perceived betrayal by the Democratic party to complicated, complex, and truncated
American values. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because of a perceived betrayal Trump is allowed, even
encouraged by Fox, the first, at least in my recollection, propaganda media
machine and other media to be uncivil and undignified lacking any moral
compass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet we must not forget that all
of the networks, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox gave Mr. Trump $2 Billion Worth
of Free Media.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This comes after Les Moonves, Chairman of CBS
said, “It may not be good for America but it’s damn good for CBS.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those old enough to remember Norman Lear’s,
“All in the Family”, he is Archie Bunker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is the real Archie Bunker the world has past by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may be the reason so many folks like
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is their favorite sitcom
character.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would be funny, but it’s
for real, he is the U.S. President. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, the Democratic party, with all its shortcomings,
typical of any human institutions, did have the courage and wherewithal to run
a Black Man and win two terms, this cannot be dismissed or discounted, as many
have ignored for commentaries on white fragility and power. On the other hand,
the Republican party would seem to have been weak on these matters and was ripe
for revenge politics as well as a politics of fragility, betrayal and
extremism. For a party which considered itself the standard bearer of
conservative religion, values voters and family values, i.e., Focus on the
Family, many wonder what happened to the morality and ethics of the Republican
party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>White supremacy, white entitlement
and privilege has hallowed out the Republican party to a point where even
William F. Buckley would have left the Grand Old Party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To an extent, and this refers to the
constitution, the democracy and the republic, the Republican Party has also been
an actor of betrayal, but to a higher cause and promise which is the North Star
of nations and movements. To betray or resist unrighteousness becomes a love of
righteousness and the ground of hope.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While race and racism are an obvious challenge the deeper
more systemic issues which become the catalyst is the migration of wealth beginning
in the 1970’s<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span></span></span></a> to
the 1% of the American population.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
now owns 99% of American wealth. This small group of families shape and contour
the politics and economy as fits their hopes, dreams and aspirations as
capitalism promotes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Particularly in
regard to the computer chip as the new means of production and the necessity of
fewer and fewer human beings to participate in the means of production. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is interesting that a correlation exists
between the struggle for black freedom and changes in means of production
beyond Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply put, there are economic, political,
social and cultural implications stemming from black freedom which becomes a
cause of tensions bringing about a demise of hope in many as the worse of
humanity comes out. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amidst a demise of hope, many people have given their last
for love of righteousness and in so doing betrayed unrighteousness. They have a
hope deep within their soul, motivating heart, mind and flesh, undergirded by grace,
holding steady a nation seemingly divided. Each of us must lean into this hope
as never before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This hope, the hope of
the ancestors, is the hope which resists the betrayal of righteousness and
love. It is a hope which hears those who have experienced injustice. This hope
becomes an invitation to address the concerns of the disinherited, the
dispossessed, the cries of children separated from their mothers and fathers,
those in housing crisis and those who are homeless, and those in the Muslim
Community who long for rest and peace, to name a few. It is the Trump
administration, the present iteration of the Republican party, not to let the
Democratic party of the hook, which represents a diminution of sorts as it
seemingly denies or rejects a higher calling which will overcome a fractured
politics. It is this higher calling that overcomes our present political
tribalism. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The history of the United States, at some point, was bound
to engage this present situation of tribalism. This seems to be recurring theme
of the American narrative, i.e., the American civil war, April 1861 to April
1865. It was, in my humble opinion, unavoidable. After generations of
enslavement, discrimination and oppression heaped upon a great, teaming and
sacred, even holy humanity, under the guise of a democracy and capitalism used
as a means to ensure primarily white male domination, the people, primarily the
indigenous community, women, black people, people of color, progressive whites,
and those of the LGBTQ community, anyone not oriented to the patriarchy of Mr.
Trump, VP Mike Pence, Sen. Orin Hatch, and just anointed associate Justice
Kavanaugh, have risen against this generational injustice. The narrative that
has victimized countless numbers of people now feels victimized. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to a New York Times article of October 10, 2018,
written by Charles Blow, a New York Times Opinion Columnist entitled, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk527024178">White Male Victimization Anxiety, Trump represents all the
white men who feel they’re losing ground</a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk527024110">the

angry testimony in defense of his reputation regarding accusations of sexual

that has consumed modern American conservatism. White men who have for years
been the ones who have victimized women and minorities, now say they are
victimized when those who have been victimized by white men, and I would add
their systems, like the women who cornered Sen. Jeff Flake speak out. The
abuser now says that he is the abused when the one he abused speaks out saying,
no more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, this is as strange as it
sounds</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
At this point coming from a perspective of the Beloved
Community, I would like to offer a possible remedy to the problem of tribalism
and the competing narratives which represent flesh and blood people, the
sacredness, even the holiness of God. I would like to offer hope, as a
self-interest of strategic hospitality and to attain allegiance, more so
loyalty, to that higher calling which persists in the soul of humanity, even as
humanity, the sacredness and holiness of God is disabled in the face of profound
injustice. And what is that higher calling but love, yes love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love must have it say amidst a necessary hospitality,
the welcoming of righteousness, humbleness and grace into the heart of the
people of a nation deluded by its own image. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel at times that love is thought of as shallow, not firm
or strong in its approach, that it suffers at the hand of the abuser without
recourse. This is an interpretation of love, yet this interpretation has taken
on a type of truth not bathed in divine grace and mercy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Truth is, love is so, oh so much more. It is,
quite simply, the most intimate affair of divine cosmic intent. The love I
write of here is that love which maintains the movement of planets, instilling
the gravity which becomes the ground traversed. Yes, it is at times sacrificial
and it does suffer yet it is profoundly joyful and charismatic amidst
relational and interrelatedness yielding transformation as a byproduct of
cosmic mystical proportions of the soul. One cannot experience this love and
not be changed, transformed, made new. This love overcomes the hatred, stigma,
disdain and vile which inhabits the land. This love is not naivete about matters
of spirit and flesh, more so this love is engaged in persistence as love <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">will</i> have the final say in all things. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Considering this love, the question is, “How do we
love?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do we live this love?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would never presume to have the answers, in fact answers
tend to be fleeting on the matter of love. I will say that this love begins as
we first care for ourselves and others. As we begin to look at difference as an
enabler of those things precious, sacred, and divinely human. Our allegiance no
longer being to money, profit, intentional blindness and absence or risk
management to domination, that which is the root of evil, more so our first
allegiance is to love, and for this love we give our all. We must be consumed
by God’s love as opposed to the affairs of economy and thus become a new
creation, one which gives life to the human community and thus in the final
analysis to the earth and cosmos itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If we desire healing for the earth and ourselves as inhabitants and
offspring of the earth, a conclusion of wars, tribalism, global warming,
poverty, homelessness and the homeless crisis, love must be our highest
allegiance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love then should compel a reflection on actions past,
present and future to sincerely address the trajectory of human affairs. Coming
from a perspective of love those reflections, as a means toward justice will,
at points, impinge on the credibility of men such as Trump, Kavanaugh and white
males in general, yet grace, should bring about a new creation, an enlightened
soul which no longer views wealth from a materialistic aspect which defines
success as domination but a view which receives the highest success as love. I
think what I am calling for here is a politics of love, yes, real love. What I
advocate for is a politics which teaches people how to love, how to care and
how to build up the human community. It is a politics intent on caring for the
least of these regardless of status.</div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A politics of care for the least of these is
rooted in love for the other as in Jesus Christ and seeks to ascertain the
highest nobility of human aspirations. This politics is not about power and
influence as such, more so it is about grace and mercy moving as constituents
of the highest nobility.</span>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These days of economic uncertainty, poverty, the
healthcare of millions continually at risk, housing insecurity, and more and
more people becoming homeless amidst a national government corrupt the person
of faith is presented with the catastrophic, even a calamity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each day I speak with people who work one,
two or even three jobs, who have difficulty making ends meet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life for many of the people I encounter is
frustrating, even precarious<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>yet they
are hopeful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For many their hope rests
in community, in friends, coworkers, and family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sincere and authentic relationships, that is,
a Christ centered relationship, are of critical importance as each of us lives
through a shift in moral obligation from the sacredness of humanity to the
sacredness of profit margins, globalization and gentrification. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Everywhere humanity is
confronted with this question of moral obligation as the disinherited, those
who suffer stigma, oppression, the working class, the immigrant, and the least
of these, are cast aside for the sake of those who can afford the cost of this
new type of moral obligation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are
urgent times, times, at least for me, when Bob Marley’s song, “One love”
becomes a rallying cry of sorts, as the disinherited encounter determined
forces of injustice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In light of these
determined forces of injustice, complacency, naivete, self-deception, and a
tendency to be lukewarm, must be surrendered to the freedom, liberation,
salvation and sacredness of our humanity. Of course this cannot be done alone,
and anyone who says that they can do it alone, “Only I can fix it” resists the
calling of God to the beloved community and to a solidarity expressed in the
communion instituted and received in Christ. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The scriptures today,
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Colossians 3:12-15 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, remind us
that the calling to advance a different imagination of the world, one which
appreciates the sacredness of humanity and creation, requires that those
seeking to advance a different more just imagination must work in solidarity
with each other. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 reminds us that its far better to work in
community, to give life to those relationships. Colossians 3:12-15 reminds us
that As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if
anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord[a]
has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves
with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the
peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one
body. </span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">1 Corinthians 12:12-13 reminds us 12 For just as
the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though
many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in the one Spirit we were all
baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to
drink of one Spirit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">And what makes
solidarity solid and the beloved community real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LOVE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they
will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is
knowledge, it will pass away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Reflecting here on the
Church at Corinth, [Pause] the Apostle Paul had a covenantal relationship with
the Church at Corinth. It was one of solidarity. While the Church at Philippi
gets the affection of Paul, they get their props for their unwavering support
of him, I would suggest that the Church at Corinth, even with its human
dynamics, diversity, challenges, problems and issues, was just as committed to
Paul as the Church at Philippi. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two
very different churches provide Paul’s proclamation of the gospel of Jesus
Christ lived out in solidarity with emerging diverse, dynamic communities of
faith. Each was in covenant with Paul and his mission from Jesus Christ no
matter the situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like Paul and the
churches of Corinth and Philippi, the unifying theme of our faith today is
Jesus Christ. It is our faith in God through Jesus Christ which yields a solidarity,
received in the communion, in Christ, in covenant with our sister and brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">James Baldwin, an
American novelist and Social Critic who lived from 1924-1987 said “If we know,
then we must fight for your life as though it were our own-which it is-and
render impassable with our bodies the corridors to the gas chamber. For if they
come for you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.” The words
of Baldwin would seem to be a response to a poem by Martin Niemöller
(1892–1984) a prominent Lutheran pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe
of Adolf Hitler who spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration
camps who is remembered for his postwar words, “First they came for the
socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they
came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a
trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I
was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The words of Baldwin and
Niemöller caution us today, people of faith, not to cast aside or fail in the
urgent call of solidarity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their words
are a reminder that we cannot get so lost or caught up in my own struggles and
joys that we cast off or reject God’s love as lived out in the Beloved
Community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The risks posed to a humanity
no longer considered sacred by power monied regimes rooted in hatred of the
other and their rhetoric and their strategies and practices division makes
solidarity one of the only viable means of resistance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I find history to be a great
teacher, unless we choose to ignore, reject,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>disregard or contour according to a particular ideology, of understanding
or at least seeking to understand the forces which have as their primary
mission the denigration of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a sacred
humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would seem to be the
primary discourse in America from its founding. The incessant need to disregard
not just humanity itself through various schemes and strategies but the very
sacredness of that humanity. Attending a gathering of homeless people and those
in solidarity I was reminded once again of this history which spans the
existence of America and how this narrative must be challenged and transformed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I suppose this
particular American story is why my mother and father taught me and my sister that
we must never walk alone, by ourselves, but walk together in relationship and community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this community has to be strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This I learned seemingly from the day I came
out of my mother’s womb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even today she
still asks about my community and who or what I am in relationship with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I gather from parent’s wisdom is that
survival can be and often is resistance. In concert with my parents teaching I
that the communion is Jesus’s resistance to the unjust, unchecked regimes of
power. It is a reminder that God is in solidarity with each of us here today as
we live in community with our sisters and brothers.</span><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">“Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For
my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28 – 30<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The tragedies of our day, the deconstruction of truth in common
life, historical and divisive issues and concerns such as racism, sexism, economic
inequality, etc., and an outrageous persistent ignorance more and more codified
into law and exacerbated by vitriolic political rhetoric, various media, and a
politics immoral more and more frustrating for many, should make us thankful
for the life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is his sacred and holy unwavering
courageous stance in opposition to unjust and burdensome religious and
governmental laws, which left God’s people bound and longing for hope, that offers
the Christian a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light. His profound and
unlawful acts of love present us with the sustenance and the remedy to a
national tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christ broke the law
all the time. Christ forgave and harbored criminals and refugees. Christ's
challenge to the temple was illegal and got him crucified. He sets the trend
for challenging man-made authorities, i.e. sin, evil and unjust laws, and
giving allegiance to God instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In Martin Luther King Jr.’s sermon, “The Death of Evil upon
the Seashore” he writes, Is anything more obvious than the presence of evil in
the universe? Its nagging, prehensile tentacles project into every level of
human existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may debate the
origin of evil, but only a victim of superficial optimism would debate its
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Evil is stark, grim, and
colossally real. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s words are a reminder that
the faith we profess is not for window dressing, or for an exhibition of
entitlement, privilege or supremacy but for an encounter of sin, evil and
injustice legislated through laws and policies, that do not and will not compromise
in their mission to rape, pillage and if possible to destroy our very souls.
The faith <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">we</i> profess and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">seek
to live</i></b> is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not </i></b>an investment in the deception, lies and falsehoods of some
who profess Christianity, but in those things, which affirm a costly grace, as
expressed by Pastor, Martyr, Prophet and Spy Dietrich Bonhoeffer amidst the final
solution, i.e. the murder of 6 million Jews, codified into law in Nazi, Germany,
and experienced at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ our beloved savior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is an appreciation of this costly grace at
the depths of our soul which compels a discipleship which keeps us from a
profound and dangerous deception which cast many into the abyss of fragility, discouragement
and despair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Galatians 6:7 encourages the Christian not to be deceived;
that God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man or [woman] soweth, that shall they
also reap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this sense the deception
espoused by the tragic as seen in the current political regimes governmental
laws and policies regarding immigration, racism and an incivility unleashed, is
only overcome by a discipleship rooted in our encounter of a costly grace in
our soul and a profound and uncompromising believe that God’s unarmed truth and
unconditional love will have the final word and that right temporarily defeated
is stronger than evil triumphant" as said by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. In other words, the religious, political, and cultural polarization
experienced by many today can only be overcome by a deep and uncompromising
believe in the costly grace of Jesus Christ and no other, that regardless of
how things look, God has the final word.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As it says in Deuteronomy 32 verse 35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">An appreciation of costly grace calls us each moment of each
day to reclaim once again the gospel of Jesus Christ so as not to be deceived
by a religion and its politics parading as a form of a gospel reminiscent of
the Jim Crow South and so called Christians who would practice racism while
going to the lynching tree after receiving communion. In his review of The
Cross and the Lynching Tree, by James Cone, Stephen G. Ray Jr. January 30, 2012
writes, “More often than not, the public renderings of black bodies were
carried out by "good Christian folk"—people who had become convinced
that their dedication to the regime of white supremacy that demanded these
executions was part and parcel of their Christian identity. It is no
coincidence that most of the lynchings from the late 19th to mid-20th century
occurred in the Bible Belt. Churchgoing lynchers were often murdering other
churchgoing Christians who were of the same communion: Baptists killed Baptists
and so on.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mindful of Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman, in his book, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Creative Encounter</i>” the history of
Christianity is a struggle between good and evil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is not unique to Christianity as it is a
tension acknowledged by all the great religions. In this light each of us must
delve deep within ourselves as children of God to encounter that authentic
religious experience. We do an injustice to ourselves, if, unlike Jesus in the
Garden of Gethsemane, we don’t consider who we are, as a product of a system, and
the implications of what our faith must encounter, engage, and eventually
overcome. The faith we live and profess, like our love for all of God’s
creation, is not for the faint of heart as it is meant to take on systems and
processes, whether external or internal, which codify unjust bias,
discrimination and a racial and economic animus into law and governmental
policy such as the current immigration policy which separates children from
their families, discriminates against the Muslim community, while also putting
the healthcare of millions at risk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course, some might consider a position detrimental to so many people, simply a
different worldview, covering up the dastardly and shameful conditions
advocated by this peculiar ideology. Yet who can deny that children separated
from their families and incarcerated in an old Walmart building is not unjust,
for some, conjuring mental images of African American enslavement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The sacred and holy stand against sin, evil and injustice are
an ongoing continuing struggle which must be fought generation to generation.
Any resting on our laurels becomes an opening for the weeds of delusion,
deception and deconstruction, and dehumanization legislated as law, to rise and
choke whatever righteousness and an inclusive life-giving hope being nurtured.
In this I think the words attributed to Jesus, “It is finished” in the gospel
of John 19:30 can be deceptive, used by the forces of injustice to inflict a
cruel dispensation, the cheap grace of injustice, upon the innocent making it
clear that sin and evil persist. More so, the words “It is finished” is a
trumpet call amidst the injustice of our day that Jesus Christ has been the
example, he’s given those who choose to be his disciples the tools to stand
against the sin, evil and injustice of this world and he’s given his disciples
the Holy Spirit so that they might critically and forcefully engage those
things which deny a necessary hope. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Amidst
the “It is Finished” Jesus had an intimate knowledge of the burden which
confronted and confronts his disciples.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Today’s text, Matthew 11:28-30 emerges out Jesus’ dealings
with Pharisees who seek God’s righteousness through unswerving obedience to
Jewish law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similar to today they sought
to legislate righteousness and morality, creating a huge and unbearable burden
for God’s humanity. The scripture is Jesus’s engagement of the sad affair and a
reminder that the law, whether religious or secular, for as much comfort as the
law can seemingly provide secular or religious authoritarians or zealots, is a
burden which denies the very righteousness, mercy and grace of God and a
morality they seeks to take hold of. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The saying “my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” is part
of a larger passage (Matthew 11:28–30), in which Jesus tells all who are weary
and burdened to come to Him for rest. He isn’t speaking here of physical
burdens only. Rather, it was the heavy burden of the system of works that the
Pharisees like some today, laid on the backs of the people that Jesus was
offering to relieve. Later, in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus will rebuke the
Pharisees for laying heavy burdens on the shoulders of the people (Matthew
23:4).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The “yoke of the Pharisees” is the burdensome yoke of
self-righteousness and legalistic law-keeping. It has been said by biblical
scholars that the Pharisees had added over 600 regulations regarding what
qualified as “working” on the Sabbath. That is a heavy burden! Recall the story
of the lawyer who asked Jesus what the greatest commandment of the Law was
(Matthew 22:36). You can almost read between the lines of the man’s question:
“What law, of all the laws we have, do I absolutely have to keep?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Following Christ<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the life of the Christian, strength and the will to
persist become the evidence of their discipleship in Christ which sustains and
overcomes the difficulties and challenges of unjust and unnecessary laws which
perpetrate the sin, evil and injustice of humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sin, evil and injustice are often the only
words which adequately describe programs and policies which reveal evermore the
destruction not only of innocent families longing for a better life but of the
demise a nation which each day becomes more and more burdensome, fragile and
polarized in its common life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
during times like these when the faith of the Christian, their relationship
with Christ, becomes paramount in the apprehension of a hope which overcomes
burdens which compel a sadness, depression and hopelessness. Considering such
matters, today the Christian must lay their burdens at the feet of Jesus Christ
knowing that obedience to these words are the clearest way and means to
overcome and address the sins and evils of humanity which persist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the final analysis, where the laws of humanity fail, making
weariness and burden the norms of our day, it is the law of love, which makes
the yoke easy and the burden light. It is the Christian’s obedience to Christ and
his teachings rooted in love as exhibited by Jesus, which must overcome those
burdens, those frustrations encountered in unjust laws. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There may be times in the life of the Christian
when they will have a choice between obedience to God’s law or obedience to
man’s law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has been a very real
reality for those dealing with immigration and those who addressed issues regarding
environmental concerns at Standing Rock in the face of big oil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may be fortunate now not to have to make
that choice, yet this choice eventually comes to all who profess their
obedience to Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This day let those of us who profess discipleship to Christ
practice the law of love and in so doing gradually begin to change our lives, our
homes, our communities, our nation, our world and its politics and in so doing make space for the Kingdom of heaven.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Tell the Truth”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
lectionary text this week, Luke 4:21-30 provides some sorted humor as we read
of the rejection of Jesus by the people of his hometown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is Jesus, having proclaimed his call
out of Isaiah 61:1, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and then we have the
townspeople, many who had known Jesus as he was growing up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They knew him and his family, as they said,
is not this Joseph’s son, in effect saying that Jesus was not the Messiah, or a
prophet, or anyone great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now Jesus
being Jesus and knowing his congregation, a people of Nazareth, a city of ill
repute, he read the skepticism, contempt and blatant dishonor running rampant
among the congregation and become irrate, even insulted regarding the whole
matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now in the Gospel of Mark 6:1-6,
the earlier text, the situation is described as suspicious, hostile, even
resentful as they thought he should have ministered in his hometown first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to the interpreter’s bible “The
people were astonished but it was a grudging and sour astonishment.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having known Jesus for many years before he
answered the call of God, the people asked, among themselves, what I would
consider logical questions such as, “How did Jesus get all of this wisdom?”,
“How did he learn to preach and teach so well?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet the logic of their questions only made the scandal of their hearts
more pronounced. At this point Jesus, being amazed at their lack of faith, begins
to “tell the truth” meaning he was frank, bold and truthful in his encounter
with the congregation of his townspeople.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I
remember when I was a child growing up I would hear people in Church, school
and/or on the street say, “To tell the truth” typically it was an introduction
to some pretty heavy stuff, somewhat derogatory about an individual, group or
organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It usually meant that they
were on the “outs” or in disagreement with expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus compared the people in the synagogue
with the people who lived in Elijah’s time when only and in the time of
Eliseus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus’ comparisons said that
they were unworthy of the miracle of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Luke 4:29 reads, they rose up, and thrust him out of the city and led
him to the edge of the hill where they were going to throw him over but he
passed through the midst of them, went his way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

leaving one speechless, to say the least, even in the presence of witnesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The call of God is that one moment when the
mystical confronts the staid practical sensibilities of human existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to the interpreter’s bible, “They
are possessed by the purifying and inspiring purpose of God, then for the first
time the soul finds for itself an immense and joyous freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one called is God’s expressed desire
beyond office, position or pedigree, and so was the call of Jesus. Yet the
calling of God is not without significant concerns and challenges as the one
called moves in the midst of the people, even a hometown crowd whose desires
have been shaped by systems, structures and processes of Oppression and Privilege
as established by ruler and authority written in Ephesians 6:12,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

struggle described in Ephesians 6:12, there are times, more often than not,
when the one called of God will experience rejection yet this rejection can
reveal particular passion, even joy, as the ministry of ones calling is
defined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is ironic that the rejection
of Jesus by his hometown people became significant in shaping and defining his
ministry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It became a means toward
profound hope for those who might receive salvation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rejection, problematic as it is on many

of the arc of justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This becomes

Jesus is the author of forgiveness as it is written in Luke 23:24, “Forgive
them for they know not what they do<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.”, in
the midst of his own slow and painful crucifixion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Listening to the many reports from around

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Living in a society of materialism, rationality and a gradual
marginalization of God and Church in common life and space, a critique of love
should be undertaken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have come to
belief that love, the kind of love defined by the life and ministry of Jesus, the
one who taught us how to love, has been sequestered and a form of love, now
considered common, constructed by various corporate institutions has been given
its former holy and sacred space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of
course this has occurred over time as the purveyors of capital and its politics
sought to enslave the heart, its religion and western clerics for matters of
greed and profit, for me an extension of the plantation narrative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I must be careful not to become too
philosophical, abstract or theological about love, a certainly not cynical, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>since I do want to communicate with you today,
yet love the love I encounter in Ephesians 3:14-21 is abstract, uncommon and
sacrificial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet it is this abstract,
uncommon and sacrificial act of love that breathes life into our souls and
empowers us towards forgiveness, considered as part of a spiritual medical
regimen needed to heal a sick and bewildered nation and its people yearning for
some type of solace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those who profess Christ
forgiveness emerges out of their heart as they intimately engage in the hope
found in the everlasting God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God and
the things of God are the anchor and the inspiration of their life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their life and their hope rest secure as they
walk humbly with their God as written in Micah 6:8.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recent discourses on identity inclusive of
the political, economic, racial, gender, sexual and scientific rhetoric remind
me that walking humbly with our God, in a blessed state of forgiveness is not
so popular in a world of materialism which looks within itself for hope
believing that the ability to overcome the deeper more substantial ills of
society rests in the latest technological trinket inclusive of weapons of
personal, communal and mass distraction, or illicit drugs will somehow fill a
void or sooth the pain within.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed this
is a fool’s errand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fool says there
is no God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this sense they believe
that God, if there is a God, bears no consequence and in this sense has no
bearing regarding issues of a population of people in severe emotional, mental
and spiritual pain, in need of real and sustainable sustenance, considered by
some as a yearning for a year of Jubilee, and a time of blessed forgiveness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a challenge for the fool as they see forgiveness
as an admission of weakness and a denial of certain profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet for those in love with God forgiveness is
life and this more abundantly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Psalm

encyclical intimated that our present state of affairs is a crisis of the soul,

society and even the Church itself, as an inhabitant of the material world, cannot
be solved without forgiveness within and without.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is clear to me that the material world which
demands an allegiance of desire at the expense of the soul is seemingly incapable
of forgiveness since forgiveness emerges from spiritual strength, and this from
a love unknown by the material world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love,
borne of spiritual strength, for Jesus and my trust in God, at times affirmed
by people who do uncommon acts of this unknown love, compel me to be hopeful
that one day this would not be the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

For
years now, as long as I can remember, the right wing of the political
establishment, far more than the political left, and those in between,
as far as I know, have said that the U.S. is exceptional, that it was
the last best hope for a world longing for hope. This narrative is even
emblazoned on the Statue of liberty with the words:<br />
<br />
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,<br />
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;<br />
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand<br />
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame<br />
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name<br />
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand<br />
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command<br />
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.<br />
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she<br />
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,<br />
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,<br />
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.<br />
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,<br />
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”<br />
<br />
Emma Lazarus’<br />
<br />
For the better part of 240 years, the United States, with its profound
challenges, concerns and issues of injustice touted itself as
exceptional, not like any other country or nation in the world. It was
the place where many people could come to start a new life, a place
where many could find the freedom to live out their dreams without fear.
America was a shining house of liberty on a hill as it sought to live
out the profound poem of the poet Emma Lazarus.<br />

style="height: 181px; margin-top: 0px; width: 245px;" /></a>Millions of
working class Americans, with their support of the Trump administration,
and its policies meant to make America great again, have categorically
rejected the poem of Emma Lazarus and with it American exceptionalism.
America is no longer the last best hope of the world. To be clear, for
many, such as myself, an African American Women and Transgender, the
motto that the U.S. was exceptional was an important part of a grand
narrative more appropriate as a lie or a myth at best. It was clear
that the U.S. was exceptional if you were of European decent, primarily.
Anyone coming from Europe, i.e. France, Scandinavia, Norway, Germany,
Italy, England, etc. to the U.S. became white when they arrived on the
shores of the U.S. and thus received exclusive entitlement and benefits
of U.S. exceptionalism. Anyone not of European decent need not apply.
The American citizen of European decent was and still is, to a larger
extent, at the center of the western capitalist world in all respects of
empire. The western capitalist world was the white man’s burden and his
burden alone. That said, there is a longing, by some, as the world
becomes more and more globalized, diverse and inclusive, to once again
be the only one entitled to the vast riches and wealth of the world,
whether psychologically or in real time, this time minus the burden they
want to Make America Great Again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="about:invalid#zClosurez" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
Globalization, a shifting
demographic, immigration, legal as well as illegal, and the ever more
emerging technostate at the hands of the rich and wealthy, i.e., the one
percent, primarily of European decent, present an impending doom as
many working class people and their families having worked at the same
corporation for generations, find themselves no longer entitled and/or
privileged, as in times past. Many find themselves in circumstances and
situations they never imagined to encounter. After years of telling the
African American in particular, to lift themselves up by their
bootstraps and to get off drugs, get a job, and take care of their
family, considering the African American morally debased and unworthy of
freedoms won by a civil war and progressive faith based legislation,
many find themselves unemployed, on welfare or working multiple jobs,
many dealing with gentrification and an opioid addiction which has
become a crisis. Like many in black and brown communities, many in the
white community now suffer a similar injustice experienced by many in
black and brown communities. Driving around Richmond, El Cerrito,
Berkeley, San Francisco, and Oakland, CA, the face of poverty,
displacement and mental health concerns is diverse, dynamic and more and
more a place of solidarity, where people regardless of race, gender, or
sexuality are gradually being able speak with one voice.<br />
In
light of the unfortunate state of affairs experienced by many Americans,
whether in red or blue states, the present politics and rhetoric, and
the election of a man who practices tranactionalism as a political
strategy towards authoritarian leanings; demanding allegiance from those
who would be his sycophants, there would seem to be a collective
immorality and cultishness in the American electorate, and I generalize
on purpose here, which overcomes good common sense and virtue
necessarily putting the republic and its democracy at risk. It has been
said by many that there is a tribalism which taken root in our politics
which infects both the democratic and republican party alike. Some
politicians with nothing to lose politically, have called the republican
party cultish.<br />
This cultishness symbolizes a profound loss of
hope as at least 63 million American citizens, primarily white, chose to
use their power, mindful that there are other groups who don’t have the
same power as they do, to elect an administration extreme and inhumane
in their policies similar to authoritarian states such as Russia, China,
North Korea necessarily risking a realignment of the U.S. from an
uneasy arbiter of hope to one of outright despotism. The once mighty
nation, the leader of the free world has abdicated its leadership, at
the behest of the Trump supporter, for lesser smaller minded things
which don’t bode well for future things.<br />
Finally, the extreme
hatred expressed in governmental policies of the Trump administration
come as Philip Alston, the United Nations’ special rapporteur on extreme
poverty and human rights, report states that, “The American dream is
rapidly becoming the American illusion,” Alston states in the report.
“The equality of opportunity, which is so prized in theory, is in
practice a myth, especially for minorities and women, but also for many
middle-class white workers.” The report is a call to action for those
who care, who want and need a better society for all. There are many
who experience what the report of the U.N. says everyday of their life. Many
have one, two or in some cases three jobs to make ends barely meet.
I’ve met scientists, engineers, people who I thought would have good
paying jobs on the street, homeless. What we have is a nation that has
lost its way as it seeks to navigate its demons of race, white entitlement, supremacy, venture capitalism,
and a moral depravity which has gripped its very soul.</div>

and CNN commentator and Trump surrogate, that under former President Barack Obama race relations had
gotten worse, that somehow he was responsible for the racism which pervades
much of the rhetoric of U.S. American cultural wars and politics. His fellow commentators pushed back hard
on his outrageous claim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems that
the commentators/surrogates which support and defend their partisan ideology are hell bent
on being extreme in their viewpoints and perspectives choosing to spout the most
absurd talking points possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now and then
the host of the show whether on MSNBC, CNN, or even Fox News will hold the commentator/surrogate accountable such as Don Lemon, Alisyn Camerota, and Chris Cuomo on CNN or Chuck Todd, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and Chris Matthews on MSNBC and Chris Wallace on Fox, but for the most part I find that the majority of hosts
do not hold the commentator/surrogate accountable for their absurdities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s like, they want them to come back for another
interview so they don’t go too hard on them. Holding the Trump commentator/surrogate accountable regardless of the network
is not their strong suit.<br />
Of course I remember during the campaign season how
the networks never held Trump or his surrogates accountable for the outrageous
stuff he or his surrogates would spout off even if it were about Mrs.
Clinton, such as pizzagate, <span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/01/01/chrissy-teigen-fights-back-after-twitter-user-drags-model-into-the-false-pizzagate-conspiracy-theory/?utm_term=.538add9604af">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/01/01/chrissy-teigen-fights-back-after-twitter-user-drags-model-into-the-false-pizzagate-conspiracy-theory/?utm_term=.538add9604af.</a></span> In fact, the networks gave Trump
more free airtime than any other candidate in political history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to a New York Times article dated
March 16, 2016, entitled “$2 Billion Worth of Free Media for Donald Trump”
written by Nicholas Confessore and Karen Yourish, Trump got $2 Billion worth
free media, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/upshot/measuring-donald-trumps-mammoth-advantage-in-free-media.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/upshot/measuring-donald-trumps-mammoth-advantage-in-free-media.html</a>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In another article written by Emily
Stewart of TheStreet, an online magazine which focuses on Wall Street, Donald
Trump received over $6 billion worth of free media as of November 2016, <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/story/13896916/1/donald-trump-rode-5-billion-in-free-media-to-the-white-house.html">https://www.thestreet.com/story/13896916/1/donald-trump-rode-5-billion-in-free-media-to-the-white-house.html</a>.
I suspect the reason why he got the free airtime was because the networks, regardless
of their political stance stood to make millions, he would be their cash cow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Trump made money for the networks, and still does today as president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Face it, Trump was a bonanza, a jackpot for networks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is an implicit motto, “Who cares about America,
just give us the money." It may also be that "America is money and money is America." Either way, its a sad and unfortunate commentary. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking at a Morgan Stanley conference in February of 2016,
CBS Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said of Donald Trump's presidential
run: "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS." <a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/10/cbs-ceo-les-moonves-clarifies-donald-trump-good-for-cbs-comment-229996">https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/10/cbs-ceo-les-moonves-clarifies-donald-trump-good-for-cbs-comment-229996</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fact is, a divided America, one confused and
dazed, racially and sexually charged, verging on a constitutional crises, with
rumblings, at times, of a second civil war, the networks are making a killing,
financially. Of course Robert Reich, former U.S.
Secretary of Labor and Professor of Public Policy at the University of
California at Berkeley doesn’t think a second civil war will happen but there
may be some serious unrest, <a href="https://www.wyomingnetworknews.com/a-second-american-civil-war">https://www.wyomingnetworknews.com/a-second-american-civil-war</a>.
Its all about the money and the racial and sexual strife which inflicts the body politic. Though it may be unhealthy for the
country and its citizens its good for newspapers like the New York Times and
networks like CBS and their sponsors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Leon Lazaroff of TheStreet,wrote an article entitled, Trump May Hate 'The
Media' but Newspaper Stocks Are Rolling, writes, “While Trump's jabs at The New
York Times (NYT)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have tempered since he
met with top editors on Nov. 22, the newspaper company's stock price has been
on a torrid rebound, more than 14% since the Nov. 8 election, helping to pare
its 2016 decline to 4.6%” <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/story/13909414/1/trump-may-not-like-the-media-but-newspaper-stocks-are-on-a-roll.html">https://www.thestreet.com/story/13909414/1/trump-may-not-like-the-media-but-newspaper-stocks-are-on-a-roll.html</a>.

Josh Enomoto of Investors Place, wrote a piece entitled, “4
Media Stocks That Will Win BIG on Fake News Accusations.” In it he writes, “It’s
no surprise that “Mr. 45” hates big media stocks like CBS Corporation
(NYSE:CBS). Trump’s contempt for the media establishment was well-confirmed
during the three presidential debates. He openly complained about bias, and
accused the moderators of throwing softball questions to his rival Hillary
Clinton. And I’m telling you, that was media gold for companies like CBS. Sure,
publicly they complain. Privately, CBS is hoping for another fake news outburst
— and they’ll get it! The issue with CBS and other media stocks is that
apparently, nothing fazes or will ever faze Donald J. Trump. People thought
that Charlie Sheen was winning in relation to his insane antics. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He doesn’t even come close to Trump. In fact, “The Donald”
is so good that he turned a Super Bowl blowout to the greatest comeback of all
time. Efforts to rip him at the Oscars led to their biggest public
embarrassment of all time. The Donald also saved CBS stock from falling into
obscurity. Last year, between the beginning of April to the start of September,
CBS dropped more than 5% in the markets. This was in sharp contrast to its
amazing rally from earlier in 2016. But then Trump stepped in. First, there
were the controversies, then the debates. And when the unthinkable happened,
CBS soared to the moon. ”Surely, they will not admit it, so I’ll say it for
them. Fake news has been awesome for CBS and media stocks.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://investorplace.com/2017/02/4-media-stocks-win-big-fake-news-nyt-cbs-nws-fox/">https://investorplace.com/2017/02/4-media-stocks-win-big-fake-news-nyt-cbs-nws-fox/</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It would seem that the media and Trump are made for each
other. They may pretend to have a stormy relationship but the reality is that
both are making money on their rocky marriage, this, regardless of political
perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course there is nothing
new here, its been this way for years, its just more overt with high
drama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That said, once this reality TV
show is over, one where the republic and its democracy would seem to be at risk, “Will the
American people ever have a healthy tension with their government again?” I
tend not to think so since this reality TV show has revealed ever more, the ugly,
putrid underbelly of the United States. At the conclusion whether through
impeachment or election, there will need to be an assessment of the damage which
occurred to the republic, its democracy and institutions. Of course the media
will have center stage in this investigation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do wonder though, since Trump is the Great White Hope for
the 63 million people who voted for him, the majority of which are republicans,
will a congress, controlled by republicans, primarily a party for those who support
Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda, have the moral courage and fortitude
to look beyond the partisan leanings of power and authoritarianism, to the real
hard matters regarding the oval office and a president who sees himself as a
president above the law as he has absolute authority to pardon himself.” This
is an interesting opinion, a hell Mary pass, if you will, revealing his guilt in
the matter of the 2016 election.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is basically
admitting guilt and in this his standing in this case would seem to be in jeopardy. Chuck
Grassley, senior senator from Iowa, when asked about the ludicrous idea by CNN correspondents Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb, said, “If I were President of the United States and I had a lawyer that told me I could pardon myself, I think I would hire a new lawyer, he then abruptly walked away.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a commentary on the political history we find
ourselves living through that a President of the United States would not only come
up with some seriously foul and ludicrous thinking, but that he could pardon
himself, this as a blatant disrespect and disregard for the U.S. Constitution. That said, once
#45 is out, media companies stand to lose a significant amount financial
support, their cash cow will be gone.<br />
<br />
I wonder who will they give free media
airtime to next?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are times when one must make their selves heard, and
as such, make their stance on positions known. These days I consider “Where
I Stand” more important than ever. This post about political correctness emerges
after watching a debate on political correctness and the various
intersections of grievances which have become fertile ground for discussion whether
on the political left or right. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
seems to be so much grievance these days I wonder will the republic survive. This
is my response or input on the topic of political correctness. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbO-gAqF6Wh4trIpRGS9KsxQmU8zyp8hJPfR85WCt3zB48BBLP9g" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Image result for images of political correctness" border="0" class="rg_ic rg_i" height="340" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQbO-gAqF6Wh4trIpRGS9KsxQmU8zyp8hJPfR85WCt3zB48BBLP9g" style="height: 187px; margin-top: 0px; width: 220px;" width="400" /></a>Political correctness is fundamentally about respect. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is respect for people, considered the
other, whose humanity was disrespected, trampled, neglected and in many cases
murdered for over 300 hundred years and even today suffer amidst systems of
oppression. The children of those who perpetrated such violence and vitriol still
to this day have difficulty and are exercised by the need for them to respect,
unconditionally, the humanity of the other. Political correctness is an imperfect
means, as all means are, of somehow giving respect due black and brown bodies. It
is an acknowledgement that the country was founded with a birth defect at its foundation.
Political correctness is one means to address the birth defect, to engage in a
process of healing. Healing, in this case, becomes a moral obligation as the
soul seeks the light of justice, as love in the public square. It is
effectively building a more inclusive and healthy society which imparts its
best. Mindful of Micah 6:8, political correctness is a means to love our sister
and brother and to do justice and to walk humbly with God. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It would seem, based on the rhetoric of the President of the
United States, AM talk radio, Fox and Friends, and many of the supporters of
Make America Great Again, that the moral obligation which political correctness
seeks to address, as one interpretation of Micah 6:8, is antithetical to their
position, whether in a religious or secular context. To respect the humanity of
the other is tantamount to heresy. To acknowledge the humanity of the other
would be a rejection of their believe system which is rooted in the denial of
the other and their humanity to avoid an all-consuming apocalypse. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles Blow, a brilliant American Journalist,
commentator, and current visual op-ed columnist for the New York Times commenting
on the cancellation of the Roseanne Barr show by ABC, in response to her abhorrent
racist tweet about Valerie Jarret, said that “racism is a part of a believe
system present since the founding of this country. He further says, stop being
astonished!” Van Jones said, in response to Charles Blow, “It does seem that there’s
been a moral collapse in our political center.” This moral collapse is a consequence
of a believe system which rejects outright the call of political correctness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even now fans of Roseanne are attacking ABC for canceling the
show. It is clear from the sitcom’s ratings that many, not all, of middle America
felt affirmed in their biases and in many cases racist tendencies. It allowed
them to feel comfortable in expressing their views and perspectives of disregard
for a society and culture more and more diverse. It is unfortunate that for
many, free speech, is about their freedom to disparage a person or community they
don’t understand or don’t like. This type of “free speech” is detrimental to
society making it more and more coarse and as such dangerous and divisive on
many levels. On the other hand, “I get it.” Political correctness regarding
free speech, should not be about protecting anyone from the harsh realities of
life in America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should not be used
to stifle dissent or controversy, more so, it should enrich serious debates on
social and cultural matters which lead to a mature and pragmatic discourse. But
should it be used to stifle the racist, the sexist, the homophobe, transphobe, etc.,
or intimidation, those who practice what is considered immoral and indecent?
No, but there must be a robust pursuit of just language which overcomes a language
of intimidation and the indecent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amidst a cultural and civil war raging, its proxy being social
media, politics and religion, Jordan Petersen, Professor of Psychology at the
University of Toronto, and a Clinical Psychologist, is against political correctness
seeing it as a part of a failed postmodernist intellectual regime hell bent on
resentment against those and their systems who oppress. It is the oppressed getting
back at the oppressor which, for Peterson, is detrimental to society and the grievance
of the oppressed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I see his point
and I, myself do not believe in revenge, I do want respect for my humanity. This
is the question, “Can those historically oppressed and disenfranchised ever
attain respect from the dominant group?” It is clear that the dominant group
represented by the Trump supporter has a serious grievance as they feel disrespected,
marginalized and made to feel less than, and their grievance should be
addressed, yet, to be clear, their grievance comes nowhere near the grievance
held by First Nations People, African American’s, Mexican Americans, Chinese Americans,
Korean Americans, women, and people who identify as LGBTQIAP, etc., but I don’t want
to get into what aboutism, a term used by those on the political right these days as an excuse
for deeper more psychological issues rooted in displacement regarding entitlement
and privilege.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a debate involving Michael Eric Dyson, Michelle Goldberg,
Jordan Petersen and Stephen Fry, Michelle Goldberg, blogger, author and New
York Times columnist, commented that in her interviews of people at Trump
rallies she found that many people were upset that they couldn’t say what they
wanted to say about women and by implication black and brown people. They feel their
voices are marginalized for the sake of political correctness. Goldberg’s
interviews are a reminder that many people, particularly those who support Donald
Trump and his Make America Great Again agenda, demand freedom to disrespect the
other anytime they please without hesitation, to discriminate, to return to a
time, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reflecting here on the Dred Scott v.
Stanford Case of 1857</i>, when black people, i.e. slaves had no rights that
should be respected by the United States. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From a Christian perspective, and this is my theological
point, political correctness is a discourse on justice, as a means towards
morality, which expresses ones love for God and the other. The other, many
times in sacrifice, struggles to live this sacred call out daily amidst certain
injustice which looms over their humanity. In this, the other transcends a believe
system which marginalizes and denies their humanity and the humanity of others.
Emanuel Levinas, a precursor of James Baldwin and Cornel West, engages the
other as an authentic, even a sacred presence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other, considering a mindset which denies their
humanity must be the resistance as they develop certain strategies which combat
a mindset reminiscent of Nazi Germany and America’s Jim Crow South. Their
actions must be of a morality courageous as they remain steadfast in their just
convictions. Many times, this may be a protest against a legal policy which reflects desires
to protect ideologies of injustice such as the current U.S. Immigration policy.<br />
Political correctness is not about shutting down the rhetoric of those haters and people discontent but it does seek to call those who would be such to show respect for the other even in their hatred and discontent. Is this a bridge too far? Only time will tell. </div>

small minded nature of the times we are living through here in the U.S. A
time when those delicate unable to cope with the changes and shifts in American
society are seemingly spouting rhetoric revealing thoughts unhealthy and unwise
owing to a sense of fear rooted in the history they themselves created. Concerns
for loosing their second amendment, a disregard for the truth, embracing alternative
facts, ethical considerations now negligent and racism alive and well seem to
be the calling of this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now
this narrative has become inhumane and immoral since there is little to no concern for morality.
While there are those of us who think this new narrative a dangerous one and that
it will mark the U.S. like the holocaust marks Germany, realize that many
people only care about losing their sense of entitlement, privilege and
supremacy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a recent YouTube video the commentator was commenting on
the second amendment and how it protects white people from the violence which
may be inflicted upon them. That this how a sense of control is maintained. I
suppose if you had a dark history, one predicated on the enslavement of the African,
the genocide of indigenous people, the Chinese exclusion act of 1882, Jim Crow, and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>myriad of other injustices, just to name few,
I imagine you would need to protect yourself from the descendants of people murdered,
hung from a tree, discriminated against and marginalized for your sake. The NFL
debacle is one more instance of profound injustice as the voice of the players has been marginalized for the sake of so called patriotism at the insistence of
the president and profit margins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My spiritual mother showed me pictures from a flea market
in Amarillo, TX, where crosses, made out of guns and bullets, formerly, a symbol of the crucifixion
of Jesus Christ, the foundation of the Christian faith are used as props for
the second amendment. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some things should
be out of bounds</i>. Then there is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
World Peace and Unification Sanctuary </i>in Newfoundland, PA, a congregation which
seemingly loves the second amendment so much that some were remarried to their
spouses while honoring their AR-15 gun. This is a seriously ludicrous church
event. They say that God gave them their guns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“The AR-15 is their golden calf” as commented by Cenk Uygur, host of The
Young Turks. The majority of the congregation had AR-15’s supposedly unloaded. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some serious idolatry going on in this church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VdqrLEi-yY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VdqrLEi-yY</a> </div>

Guns, an icon of strength, protection and power, for people
in fear of black and brown bodies, is one icon among many whose purpose it is
to enforce a narrative of white entitlement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One more icon was the Roseanne Bar sitcom which was cancelled due to the
star of the sitcom putting out an abhorrent racist tweet on twitter calling
Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s key advisors, an ape. Of course this wasn’t
the first time she had done this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
had also called Susan Rice, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations who
became President Barack Obama's national security advisor in 2013, a man, using
vulgar and extreme derogatory language. She had sung the National Anthem at a baseball game in such a way that it was disrespectful to all Americans while a black man cannot kneel in respect of the flag remembering the injustice that flag also represents. That said, many people are asking the
question, “Why did ABC let her do the show in the first place?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can never discount the profit motive when
addressing huge corporations such as Disney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I think, and this is just my thought based on the various media both
left and right, it is because of her controversial stance on race, as a
fundamental discourse in the Make America Great Again movement, in particular, which
got people, particularly the Trump supporter, to look at the show making it the
top show on ABC. I think for ABC there was a line drawn in the sand and she
crossed that line and lost her show. The question that has come up is, “How strong
will the backlash be?” or “Will the show get picked up by another network?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What we have are a people frightened of the history they’ve
chosen to create. It is a cautionary tale that one must be aware of the long
term implications of one’s actions at the moment of decision. This would seem
to be the case of those who have built up whiteness, giving it a luster, even a
shine rooted in the oppression of those black and brown. Of course those who
lift up whiteness are the latest in a long procession of the those who oppress
for sake of social and cultural sensibilities, profit and privilege. That said,
those who hold on to their second amendment and a strange unjust faith, are a
detriment to a nation divided as they fuse their fear with notions of white
nationalism. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>While I am very much aware that many people
don’t like putting injustice in racial terms because it makes matters worst or
it puts up a block, etc. we must acknowledge that racism as a fundamental part of
the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I get it, we want to
communicate but without actually sharing the hard truth of the matter we do a
disservice to a movement of justice for all. People say, put it in terms of
class, education or anything else but not race. It’s hard for me not to
consider race as a fundamental concern as it is the initial building block of American
injustice. Police brutality, red lining, school to prison pipeline, don’t begin
with a person’s class, education or politics but their race. Yes the issues are
larger than race but we should not push race aside saying, “It’s not pertinent to
ongoing issues of social and economic justice. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We must say no to racism in all its forms and
iterations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To do anything less is a
condoning of injustice. We must stand strong and unwavering in the face of a
resurgence of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia
and other forms of hatred and bigotry. I think the actions of corporate America
like Starbucks and ABC whose parent is the Disney Co., might be some examples
of standing and fighting against racism. We cannot compromise on our stance against the ugly
underbelly of America. Even if it means a so-called double standard which they
base on their belief that they are not heard or don’t have sufficient voice in
the public square. Fact is, they have a significant media complex which makes
the voice heard. Fox, Talk radio, the President of the United States, both
houses of congress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet they say their
voice is not heard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give me<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> a </span>break from this nonsense. One more fact is,
the victims of right wing populism and its rhetoric, after centuries of
injustice are finally gaining some voice which begins to compete with those who
have historically been the perpetrators of that injustice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Times have changed and we will not go back.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">From the beginning,</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Athena Athanasiou, in conversation with
Judith Butler, says that dispossession is a troubling concept.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a>
One must sit with this carefully with intention mindful that dispossession is a
logical even rational performance within a discourse on materiality.
Materiality, experienced as a moving force of progress becomes the embodiment
of capitalism and empire. It is within this construct that one’s humanity, as a
performative endeavor of the soul, becomes dispossessed. Dispossession, a
causal of commodification, affects the humanity of those oppressed as well as
the oppressor. So, dispossession is not only physical territory, it is also a
dispossession of one’s humanity.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That said, it is as the one who’s humanity has been
raped from their soul which becomes a reaction to the penetration which seeds
certain and unavoidable contempt for many, not all western perspectives. I
reflect on friends lost on 9/11 at the hands of people who became terrorist to
react to American foreign policy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
this context the terrorist was the precariat, they were the disposable, as they
struggled against the forces of American empire. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To a large extent I suggest that the terrorist
is the victim, a person seeking to hold on to whatever humanity they have in
the face of so called progress and the primacy of economy necessary to maintain
such as illusion. In the face of empire and an ignorance which dispossesses,
they are a non-person, a non-entity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
are a body dispossessed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The question posed by a body dispossessed is, “How
many times must it be raped and how long?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the face of American foreign policy, the terrorist says, in their
queer performative way, our bodies matter. Perhaps I am off base with this thought,
yet it is the sacrifice, in this instance, that draws attention to the plight
of the black and brown body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, to be
seen, as a black or brown body, opens those bodies to profiling and discriminatory
practices for the sake of a narrative of white sensibilities and their
fragility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Metal detectors, TSA, ICE,
DACA, and cameras, etc. are, to a large extent, reactions of this narrative
with a sub-discourse of safety, roots of outrageous arguments, at least to this
writer, on the second amendment. American foreign policy as an extension of
whiteness and its ascendancy<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[2]</span></span></span></span></a>,

begs the question, “Who or what is terrorizing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Dispossession is a radical dismembering of identity
with implications toward fracturing. It is at times deadly, a reality of the body
with implications to the psyche and the soul. I reflect here on the histories
of genocide, enslavement, colonization, apartheid and Japanese Internment, capitalist
alienation<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[4]</span></span></span></span></a>,
to name just a few. Dispossession is movement and this movement, regardless of limitation,
is a performance compelled by neoliberal ideology and its economy<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[5]</span></span></span></span></a>,
performing as a narrative agent of white desire. Considering the compelling,
the terrorist would seem to be performing a peculiar yet necessary type of
protest, rooted in religious and social responsibility. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The terrorist is subversive, they are a
precariat, representing a community of vulnerable dispossessed bodies foreign
as well as domestic. They are a consequence of U.S. exceptionalism, a product
of white desire. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, there are
different types of terrorists and terrorisms depending on the contextual
injustice. There are those for example like the 9/11 terrorist and Palestinians
living under Israeli apartheid supported by a U.S. foreign policy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I receive these terrorist, reminiscent of Che
Guevara, the Black Panthers, and many other freedom fighters, as a vivid and
profound reaction to the rape of bodies foreign and domestic. Taking terrorism
to a more intimate space, those who deny control or detention of their
humanity, as a space of performativity, this in a political sense, to the
narrative of U.S. exceptionalism, would be considered terrorist as they
terrorize a people produced by and through Foucault’s biopolitics, which emerges
as a regulatory regime for the normalization of a society. There is a
compelling notion in Puar to reflect on an imagination curtailed as a society
under regimes of normalization, becomes an imagination only in terms of
commodification and its regimenting narratives of surveillance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Looking at the <i>Lawrence Case<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[6]</span></b></span></span></span></a></i>,
which was about sodomy, from a perspective of regulation, and a means to
surveillance, the matter of the performative and commodification would seem to
regularize, and in this sense normalize, which necessarily affirms a notion of coming
out of the closet. The Lawrence case challenged long held believe systems and
imaginations thus intensifying those culture wars which so beset American
society today. Dispossession was and still is at the core of distinct, coherent
and competing American narratives. Each narrative, to some extent, seeking to
deny or alleviate certain sexual and political dispossession and particular imaginations,
terrorizes the other, creating a provocative space or environment of a precarious
relationality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question becomes, “How
do the political and sexual regimes, as agents of a biopolitics, address the
dispossession of the other? Can the opposing narrative and their disciples see
and encounter the injury of the other, whether political or bodily, in relationship?
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In closing Dispossession: The Performative in the
Politcal and Terrorist Assemblages, engage a difficult and challenging tension
which characterizes the coming out of the U.S. as a primary participant in rape
culture, terrorizing communities of the dispossessed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This rape culture, as exhibited in Abu Gharib
and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba exist as parts of a biopolitics which denies the
humanity of its victims who seek to have their voice heard. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this sense terrorism should be considered a
performative tool of the dispossessed for recognition and survival. It must considered
as a relevant a response to a rape culture which dispossesses because of biopolitical
interests.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Finally, if hospitality, as a means to address Foucault’s
biopolitical concerns, is going to make a difference in the aforementioned
human affairs, it will have to begin by addressing the ascendency and
resurgence of whiteness, in the context of Foucault’s <i>Order of Things</i>, while
at the same time listening to the voices of the victims of that whiteness whether
black and brown bodies or the very people who would be considered beneficiaries
of that whiteness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This form of hospitality
is risky yet what is real hospitality without risk.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">May
the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable God my
strength and redeemer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">A couple of a days ago at the radio
station I was having a discussion with a colleague about Jesus Christ, the Bible
and most importantly which interpretation and exactly which Jesus Christ do we
believe in, accept and embrace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
conversation reminded me that our hermeneutic or interpretation of the biblical
text is key to our personal, and communal liberation and the issues and
concerns of social justice we engage on a daily basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we engage today’s message we should be
mindful of the text even as we give glory and honor to Jesus Christ, our
savior, who, through no fault of his own, was born an enemy of the state and was
crucified, dead and buried an enemy of the State and Jewish authority, but was
resurrected and lives today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is his
Good News that we share.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The
text for today is Matthew 5:16. It reads</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<sup><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">6 </span></sup><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Before
we look at Matthew 5:16 I want to look for a moment at verses 13 and 14, to gain
some context for today’s text. In Matthew 5:13 Jesus speaks of the Salt of the
Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says “You are the salt of the
earth: but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be
restored?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is no longer good for
nothing except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 14-15 Jesus says, You are the light of the
world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it
under a bushel but on a stand and it gives light to all the house. Verse 16,
the text for today says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we look at verses 5:13 through 5:16 there
is the question of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Relation of the Disciples to the World</i>.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is the underlying question as Jesus introduces the one who would have ears to
hear to an inner divine light imparted by God to all creation which illumines a
profound and intimate sacredness. While Matthew 5:16b does focus on good works,
as the active and powerful witness of a life in Christ, I would suggest that
the first part of the verse, 5:16A is the origin of the whole matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The words of Jesus intimate that there inner
divine light is God’s illumination in us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It shines everlasting, exemplifying a magnificent awe inspiring grace
which calls forth the good works in 5:16b, which are hopeful, joyful, peaceful
and loving. These are tenacious and relentless pushing away the darkness. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><a href="https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/John/16/13"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 14.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The 16<sup>th</sup>
chapter of John verses 13-16</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> tell us</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><sup><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">13 </span></sup></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When the
Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not
speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you
the things that are to come. <sup>14 </sup>He will glorify me, because he
will take what is mine and declare it to you. <sup>15 </sup>All that the
Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and
declare it to you.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This
is the root and the ground of an overwhelming gratitude which awakens and
sustains soul, mind and body to live and mature a life of liberation, freedom
and justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are compelled, like
generations before, by the inner divine light to fight for a world just and
sustainable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I
remember when I was in the Navy, I had a conversation with a good friend,
colleague and fellow chief petty Officer about <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>our teenagers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They had begun going through their changes, transformation, you might
say a metamorphosis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During our
conversation I shared with him that I considered the teenage years, to be a matter
of rites of passage, where the former child is leaving childhood and preparing
to become an adult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can be a dynamic,
complex, complicated, at times confusing, yet in the long run hopeful as the human
being, one created by God, is ever more revealing the work God is doing amidst
family, friends, church and community. You could say it’s God’s coming out
party. It is a time when the shape, contour, depth and boundaries, as a means
to reveal or uncover an inner divine light are being defined more often than
not on God’s terms. Yes, this can be a most challenging time for parents and
for the teenager transitioning into adulthood and hopefully maturity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This didn’t sit well with him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mindful of the advent season, the celebration
of the birth of Jesus Christ, each of us is called to welcome, nurture and
empower the inner divine light so that it might shine with a bold and searing
brightness for the world to see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The
welcoming, nurturing and empowerment of the inner divine light, through all the
stages of life, is central to the processes of acceptance, strengthening, embracing
and loving of ourselves and all of God’s creation, and a heart which enables the
good works of Matthew 5:16. It is the underlying facility of an authentic life.
It is important to the fruits of the Spirit which are love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,<sup> </sup>gentleness, and
self-control, in Christ Jesus written by the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the
Galatians in chapter 5:22 and 23. These are particularly important living in a society
where movements such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the Metoo movement,
the poor people’s campaign, the sanctuary movement, and many more are
unfortunately necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Seeking
the divine inner light within (1) empowers a particular mitigation of
oppression and injustice from within (2) strengthens and enlivens the soul to
engage and overcome a spiritual warfare evidenced by cultural, social, economic
and political concerns (3) One’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>apprehension of their divine inner light becomes a means, I suggest
somewhat organically, towards solidarity as they more and more embrace the
divine inner light in all people. They realize that all people are connected to
God, and this understanding allows them to interact with people from a
thoughtful loving point of view. (4) Matters of meaning and sectarianism
gradually loose scope and intensity enabling the divine inner light to overcome
those spaces where knowledge, truth, and things ethical are<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>become<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>of Transformation, at least for this writer, is about seeking the divine
light within and thus it is finding that authentic sacred space of the heart
and in this sense peace beyond all understanding. Philippian 4:7 (NRSV)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The
daily injustice, oppression and abuse in American society, the embrace, by
some, of extreme ideological concerns for nostalgia, alternative facts, violence
reminiscent of Nazi Germany, and a longing for times now past, and, according
to a Washington Post article on racist Voter ID laws dated August 3, 2016, a federal
appeals court concluded that North Carolina’s voting strictures “target
African-Americans with almost surgical precision.” I suspect this extreme ideology
was meant to make America great again. From my perspective this ideology presents
me with what God called the Israelites in Exodus chapter 32 verse 9, a stiff
necked people. In focus group after focus group what is seen is a people who don’t
want to change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are some who don’t
want life to change or move, even for what might be considered a better more
sustainable life, even if it means voting for a man accused of being a pedophile.
I ponder what else to call this time we are living through but a tragedy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In
light of the tragic, there is an unfolding divine grace which uncovers a heart
and soul broken and contorted and in need of a religious and spiritual renewal.
This need for a religious and spiritual renewal is evidenced in the overhaul of
the tax code in favor of the 1%, their corporations and the president’s cronies
based on the discredited trickle down economics theory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s evident in a persistent attack on the
Affordable Care Act or Obamacare and the removal of the mandate putting the
healthcare of millions at risk. It is evident in a democracy, and its
institutions, as complicated, complex and at times wanting in the face of
corporate desires, shifting and waning amidst the cold winds of injustice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The
tragedy of our times, those cold winds of injustice, call for those with an inner
divine light nurtured empowered and bright to bring the Good News to those held
captive and enslaved to norms established by their foreparents. To be God’s
instrument of a love unfettered by the oppressive regimes and norms which, more
often than not, codify the collective sins of a society seemingly unable, as a
whole, to accept the fullness of its history. Mindful of Rev. Theodore Parker’s
words, “The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice”,
the Good News of Jesus Christ is generational and strategic with the ongoing challenging,
risky and at times deadly mission to break the curse brought on by the actions
of the foreparents of this nation while setting the captives free.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I
presume no secret or grand scheme here but a simple sacred truth as received in
Matthew 5:16, that letting our light shine is about breaking down those
historical barriers which seek to deny the liberation and freedom of God’s
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each of us here today should seek
to nurture, nourish and empower our inner divine light, imparted to us by God, so
that a just and sustainable society might flourish in Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is about serving God’s people, sharing in
their joys, sorrows, to give the most generous gift of attention.</span></div>

of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a reminder that each of us
lives, moves and breaths in the presence of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The scriptures remind us that God is active
and engaged in the affairs of humanity, in your life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I caution each of us here today not to take
God’s presence for granted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God is our
deliverer and we should not be tossed to and fro by the circumstantial evidence
of our day but lean more so into our relationship with the everlasting God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this is the Good news of the Advent
Season that God is our deliverer and comforter, and lover of justice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That unconditional love, justice and truth have
the final word in our time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King said, in his acceptance of the Noble Peace Prize, "I
believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in
reality this is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil
triumphant." I suggest that what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was saying,
is that God has the final word.</span></b></span></h4>

Thessalonians exhorts those who call Christ Savior and Lord to rejoice, and to trust
in the faithfulness of their God. (Thess. 5:23-24)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Apostle Paul is exhorting the Christians
of Thessalonica of A.D. 52 and the Christians of today to trust in the
faithfulness and the unconditional love of God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Apostle Paul could write these words having
gone through many trials and tribulations for sharing the Gospel. Shipwrecked,
imprisoned, beaten, situations, circumstances did not matter. He was centered
in Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He embodied the Advent,
living in communion with God. </span></b></span></h4>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 200%;">The words of the
prophet Isaiah and the Apostle Paul call each of us to receive the Advent Season
as a time of preparation and expectancy, where hope, joy, peace and love define
our perspective on this life and not just this season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Far from a time of consumerism and profits the
Advent Season is God’s gift to those who long for the Good News, for the
proclamation of liberty, for freedom, for the sustenance of their body and soul,
and a renewal of their strength to address the injustice which inhabits much of
life today. It is a time of fasting like Lent, and a time of reflection. Graciously
and joyously receiving the gift of Advent, the birth of the Christ child, is
more precious than life itself.</span></b></span></h4>

who denies this great gift of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is a fool’s errand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet there are some
who choose to not only deny the gift of the Advent Season but the very God who
created life itself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This sad and tragic
affair became prominent with the 19<sup>th</sup> century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche
who, having never gotten over the death of his father, who was a pastor, made
his famous statement, “God is Dead, a rejection of Christianity as a meaningful
force in the world.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He saw “humanity”
as the driving force in the world and no need for God or the Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I suggest that his rejection of God, and in
this sense his denial of peace with God, In the end led him to become insane, dying
a tragic and lonely death. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></span></h4>

tragedy of disbelief, we are called to receive the Advent Season to maintain
our sanity, to re-center ourselves as a means toward peace with God and as a
reaffirmation of our faith. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like the
Apostle Paul, the one who truly receives the gift of the Advent in their heart,
has new life in Christ and is at peace with God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this they rejoice! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></span></h4>

cycle, social, political, religious and cultural upheavals, polarization,
growing economic inequality, gentrification, an economic policy controlled by
the 1%, global warming, drug addictions and nationalism, the Advent Season reminds
each of us that God has heard our cry, seen our tears, our laughter, and
intimately knows our deepest longings, frustrations and sorrows and joys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While God is not a baby sitter or Santa
Claus, God is not oblivious to our circumstances or our situations. </span></b></span></h4>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 200%;">The Advent Season
as well as the communion we receive each Sunday are those sacred intimate
pleasures which God, as a matter divine grace, imparted through Christ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our awakening to these matters of divine grace
compel an overwhelming gratitude as they strengthen us in our faith and empowers
each of us to address the concerns, challenges and joys of this life. In his book

food pantries, visiting homeless shelters, visiting the sick and shut in, those
suffering with HIV/Aids, those in chronic pain, and those families living in
poverty, matters of divine grace are a provocation for survival, for getting
through one day at a time. For the people and their families, I have met in
these situations the Advent Season, like the communion is sustenance for their
life and soul. You see, the reason why the Christ child was born in a manger
was so that God could address the issues of all humanity, of every human being
and not just those in power who have wealth and privilege. </span></b></span></h4>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span lang="EN" style="line-height: 200%;">The Advent
Season is a profound, hopeful and somewhat unsettling answer to the concerns of
humanity. It is a reminder that God is intimately engaged in our life’s, this
we know through faith. So, the question before us today is” How shall we
respond to the Advent Season?” How do we respond to God’s gracious love as
expressed in the birth of the Christ Child?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I suspect the only answer would be to give our gifts, talents, time, energy,
our enthusiasm, our praise, glory and honor, with thanksgiving, that is, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>all of who we are or hope to be for we have
nothing except that which God has given. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></span></h4>

Conference organized by the Women’s Council of Northern California Nevada
Region I am impressed by a fantastic grace the consumes those differently
abled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The differently abled reflect the
image of God as they embody the profound grace filled teachings of Jesus of
Nazareth. Their presence radiated a love seldom experienced by many who are
able bodied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their life’s do not deny
the challenges, even the frustrations of being differently abled but, and this
is the most important part, they overcome those differences, thus becoming an
example of the teachings of Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They present
the Church with the word and wisdom of Jesus Christ of Nazareth as received in
Luke 12:12-14.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blessed reality for
us today, that their lives are a blessing to the Church, would seem to be a far
cry from theological and philosophical notions practiced by some in the Church
today. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<sup>12 </sup>He, [<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that
is Jesus Christ</i>], said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give
a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your
relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you
would be repaid. <sup>13 </sup>But when you give a banquet, invite the
poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. <sup>14 </sup>And you will be
blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the
resurrection of the righteous.” (Luke 12:12-14)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In light of the Luke
14:12-14, the differently abled, living in a world that devalues and
marginalizes them, the Church is called to be the vanguard of activism,
advocacy and support in the life of the differently abled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The economics of our day, with its dictates
of values regarding the worth of the body as a means to enhance stock
portfolios, 401K’s and gentrification, within a so-called pretext that the
blessings of God are primarily and always about economics demand that the
Church be, without apology, the bulwark of divine intervention, ensuring the
care and concerns for the differently abled. The Church lives out the Communion,
the Last Supper or the Eucharist, as instituted by Jesus of Nazareth as it
fully embraces the differently abled and the many and tremendous gifts and
talents within them and their community. The position of the Church should be
one of empowerment regarding the community of the Beloved and Beatitudes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The differently abled are a reminder that the Church, emerging
out of an experiential critical analysis is a divine sacred response of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth to the needs of the community of the beloved, i.e., the community
of the beatitudes, amidst categories of empire. It’s mission, through religious
and political means, is to embrace, advocate, comfort and empower those on the
margins of society, to make a better world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Church is the embodiment of Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It emerges out of the life and ministry Jesus
Christ, necessarily presenting the intent of Jesus himself as the only beloved
son of God in relation to the world. The mission of the Church, particularly
amidst this historical moment of global narratives shifting like tectonic
plates, is an important discourse to engage as a matter of adherence to the most
intimate of communions revealing a moral imagination at the root of the
teachings of Jesus. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is an unconditional obligation, rooted in the life and
ministry of Jesus Christ, for the Church to give voice, even a significant
voice to those on the margins of society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This calling, as a matter of obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, must
protect it from becoming bourgeois or appeasing or gratifying those privileged,
the societal norms or various and oppressive structures and hierarchies of identity
whether race, gender, sexual orientation or affection, economic status, e.g.
class, or privilege In accordance with Galatians 3:28-29. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<sup>28 </sup>There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither
slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ
Jesus. <sup>29 </sup>If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Apostle Paul seeks to clarify the intent of the Church
regarding its mission as a response to the world. His words are meant to open
the eyes and prick the heart of the Church so that it might fulfill its calling.
The Church must be, in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, the vanguard of advocacy for
those unable to advocate for themselves, and those blinded by societal norms recognizing
that the blessings which come from God come as an answer to the grace present
in those on the margins of society. (Amos 5) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I am proposing is that those on the
margins, i.e., the poor, the homeless, the lame, the indigent, the sick, the
blind, those who suffer discrimination, those differently abled, those on the
margins of society, in accordance with Luke 14:12-14, in communion with the
community of beatitudes in accordance with Matthew 5:1-12, are at the center of
God’s divine will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">They are the ones who receive God’s divine grace and mercy without
hesitation of ego or institution.</i> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And it is for these communions that the Church exists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apart from these communions there is no
Church as brought forth by Jesus Christ. If the Church is to be the entity that
fulfills the teachings of Jesus in Luke 14:12-14, then it must fully embrace,
without equivocation, the text and its literal meaning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mindful of the debate regarding whether the
Bible is symbolic or literal, this particular text must be received literally if
the Church is to be a firm and steadfast reality of salvation in the world
today. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Church is the Church<b> </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">only when it exists for the care and concern of
others.</span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk499115095"><b>“The Church is the Church only
when it exists for others...not dominating, but helping and serving. It must
tell men of every calling what it means to live for Christ, to exist for
others.” </b></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s
words <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk499119080">intimate that the Church is God’s grace in the
world.</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk499133607">God’s grace, that is unmerited favor, is not
partisan, bias or tribal, more so, it is sovereign, as God is sovereign. Grace is
relational as it is rooted in God’s loving desire for all. </a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grace must live its courageous path, for in
this mercy is present for all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with
this, healing manifests in all its glory, indeed its wisdom. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Church, as a matter of its existence for
others, must, as an obligation to the Gospel, address the concerns of the a
diverse and dynamic community. It must address concerns of constructs and
systems such as Jim Crow Sr. and Jr., the Prison Industrial Complex,
Healthcare, the Military Industrial Complex, an public educational system under
attack by corporate raiders, Economic injustice, and the unjust death and
murder of Black men and boys at the hands of a system of law enforcement born
as a means to control and maintain slavery. As such, as the Church fights and
struggles for justice, grounded in what Cornel West calls a “Black Prophetic
Fire”<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5703188876352676327#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a>, and
reminiscent of Amos living in eighth century BCE Judah, as he addressed the
injustice of Israel, it maintains a peculiar integrity with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, the Cross and to the resurrection.</span></div>

<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ephesians 6:12, the
Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Church at Ephesus.</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">At this moment, the
forces of injustice, as described by the Apostle Paul, are implementing
strategies which seek to make life more challenging, difficult and painful for
many in the Church, i.e., the Body of Christ. Concerns of social justice such
as the poor, healthcare, education, jobs, wages, and housing, are more and more
under attack by a corporate/police state which now control many of the levers
of U.S. Federal government.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Apostle Paul’s
apt description begs the question, “Where does the Church, as the Body of
Christ, stand amidst profound injustice and mounting misery?” Will or can the
integrity of the Church to the Gospel of Jesus Christ overcome the seeming
allegiance, by some, to those authorities and powers of darkness which control
those more so called practical needs? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk498959975"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Moving forward, If the Church is to be the Church, it must grapple with
the aforementioned questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
inability or denial of some in the Church to grapple with these questions of
integrity to the Gospel has caused many to fall away, to waiver, as they give
homage and pay tribute, whether rhetorically or financially to the forces of injustice
which twist the gospel and parade a strained contorted righteousness, daily
seeking to deny authentic life in Christ for the sake of power in the political
public square.</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk498959975;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In closing the Church must once again find
its first love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Church must fall at
the feet of Jesus Christ confessing its profound sins of injustice. Then and
only then will a nation more and more torn asunder begin to heal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">The title of this message comes from my experiences in sacred theological
activism and the smoke from the massive fires here in Northern California and
in Southern California. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It comes seeing
people who seemingly maintain their hope after a hurricane has devastated their
City. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It comes from people who are in ongoing
physical, and at times excruciating pain. It comes from sharing time with 7
other sacred, beautiful Black powerful transgender woman., trailblazers each of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all of these events the one
word which came up was “hope.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<b>I.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What is Hope? Hope is rooted in our faith,
and our faith in God’s love through Christ Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope is that confident assurance in Christ
that beyond what we see, know, feel, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or
experience, everything will be alight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hop
is not centered in circumstantial evidence but in God’s unmerited favor, that
is grace, as revealed through Christ Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hope does not deny the dynamics, complications and complexities of this
life, the predicaments, even the calamity at the Cross, more so, hope overcomes
those situations and circumstances as a fulfillment of God’s love. Hope is an
expression of humility and wisdom as we put Christ at the center of our life’s
and not ourselves, our relationships, the situation, circumstance, or even tragedies.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this sense hope is liberating,
calling God to move in ways never imagined. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have learned that the moment I say, “I hope
this works out”, or “I don’t know” or I don’t have a clue, I allow the spirit God
to make away I never could have conceived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I remember trying everything I could think of before coming out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fasting, therapy, sexaholics anonymous,
seeing the pastor, etc. and finally I said, Ok Lord, I don’t know, but I hope
this works out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had run out of me, I
had no answers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I said, I hope, I
was liberated allowing God to move in ways I could not conceive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My hope was no longer in what I could do but
in what God, in God’s infinite wisdom, could do, this by a divine grace. In his
Epistle to the Church at Galatia the Apostle Paul writes, "For through the
Law I died to the Law, that I might live unto God. I have been crucified with
Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and delivered Himself up for me." (Galatians 2:19-20). Paul's dedication
to the Law was unquestionable. He cherished it. It was the center of his life.
It was his identity. Its friends were his friends and its enemies were his
enemies. </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<b>Not only did he
love the Law, but the Law provided him with great <a href="http://7769domain.com/Ad/GoIEx2/?token=NlVsblQ5NDlxUmFheGxXNVRyM1RTMmViVDFrVkx5K0x2ZnlkVlREeUNxOHdOYjJmRlBCV1VjMGxTdGlibUcxOGFGNjRDZzFWUWVjNXFua0lsSzF1U09oVFpkbmR0SEdLMithcFdTYTVDYWs1SkxsMExtWFI5VjQ4a29EMGlYdXZIb2FLOEkxZG9Pc1IzUC9mNnVTM0l3R20zOVAwSmNiNnIzUTBJK2lCS1hZPQ2" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: normal;">rewards</span></a> as well. It
gave him purpose. It gave him power and prestige. It was his future path to
greatness as it had made him a leader of men. It filled him with a wonderful
sense of pride (Philippians 3:4-6). <br />
But one thing it did not do; it did not make him alive unto God. The day came
when Paul had to "die" to the Law. He had to part ways with its
promise, rewards, prestige, power and such. It was the only way to "live
unto God."<br />
Likewise for us as well. Because of our circumstances, it probably will not be
the Law that is our focus. But whatever it is that we love and trust; that we
are focused upon; that is the center of our lives; we must be willing to set it
aside in favor of putting Christ Jesus in its former position. We must have the
same attitude as Paul did; that when compared to knowing Christ, the other
things we love are but rubbish (Philippians 3:7,8). Reading the text the
Apostle had run out himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The passage
reveals a man who was liberated and now lived in Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He could now run the race and fight the good
fight of faith. </b></div>

<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">II.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
living Hope is about the here and now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is about living the resurrection of Jesus Christ, moment by moment and day by
day. It is about addressing the concerns and issues of our culture and society
today in this present historical moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I experience this living hope here at FCCO and Tapestry, but I also
experienced it at the Sojourner Truth Leadership Circle, a leadership program sponsored
by Auburn Seminary, a 200 year old Presbyterian seminary in New York City
located in the Interchurch building across the street from Union Seminary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the final meeting, lasting 4 days, of
a yearlong program focused on wellness and selfcare. While at Auburn I experienced
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a celebration of my sacredness, even a
holiness, seldom encountered beyond my communities of faith. As written in 1
Peter 1:7, I felt the genuineness of my faith. The final evening, as we
gathered I experienced <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Transgender Women
called out to be the living hope in the Transgender community. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point I said, Can You See it, Hope is
Alive and Well! It reminded me that there is always hope, if we choose to see
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">A Living hope in Christ must be the primary and
dominant discourse in our engagement of a world in profound need of what a
living hope has to offer, this is Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. There is
evidence of this when I see first responders responding to a world of calamity,
catastrophe and tragedy, communities of faith standing up against forces of
injustice in Charlottesville, VA, or when DACA recipients protest the unjust policies
of our current administration, and people living with disabilities putting
their bodies on the line to protest the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act.

<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">III.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
implications of a living Hope in Christ, are nothing less than
transformational.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is tenacious,
unyielding and resilient as a hopeful people protest unjust political/religious
policies without cease. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A further
implication is a prophetic vision which runs counter to and eventually overcomes
historic prevailing cultural, religious and political ideologies. In an article
entitled, White Heritage vs the Gospel Jim Wallis, founder and editor of
Sojourner’s Magazine writes of the Charlottesville incident, </span>The psyche
of our nation has been largely disturbed by the profound ugliness championed in
the “beloved and besieged” city of Charlottesville. Yet, in its midst, the
gospel of Christ was boldly proclaimed. A group of clergy and faith leaders
convened by Congregate Charlottesville counted the cost and willingly entered
conflict with a presence of deep abiding love. What unfolded was dramatic in
its opposition. As several hundred residents and those who traveled to answer
the call for support packed out St. Paul Memorial Episcopal Church for an
interfaith service, several hundred torch-wielding demonstrators gathered
across the street on the University of Virginia campus, evoking the hovering
legacy of the Ku Klux Klan. Demonstrators violently clashed with university
students standing in opposition to racism, while those <a href="https://sojo.net/articles/white-supremacy-versus-gospel-charlottesville"><span style="font-weight: normal;">departing</span></a> the church were told to hunker
in place because the situation outside had become too volatile.</b><b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span lang="EN">The implications of a living hope in Christ is a people awakened.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">The implications of a living Hope in Christ,
compel the forces of injustice to develop strategies which employ voter
suppression to ensure unjust political policies which makes life evermore
precarious for millions of people. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
suspect they learned from the Civil Rights Movement that a hopeful people in
Christ are unstoppable and the clearest strategy is to take away or deny their
hope, as a practical matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet this
too has limitations as a Living Hope in Christ in everlasting and will have
final word.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">In closing A Living Hope in Christ the anchor of our
faith. Hope is courageous grounded a great and cosmic love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like love it will not be denied and will accomplish
its intended action. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></div>
