American Christianity is grossly intertwined with white supremacy, nationalism, super-individualism. Related violence, oppression, and fascism have long been committed while using the cross and the names of God or Jesus as props to support hateful rhetoric and actions.
As a church, we will continue to work hard to deconstruct and dismantle harmful theologies that lead to individual bias and systematic oppression within ourselves, our church, and larger communities.
Anti-racism is not a trend. We reject racism and white supremacy, and continue to put in work to dismantle systemic oppression and forms of individual bias within ourselves, our church, and larger communities.
We celebrate Pride, in June and year-round, and celebrate its multifaceted nature as a dignity-affirming jubilation rooted in rebellion against oppression.
We recognize the intertwining, intersecting nature of different forms of oppression and marginalization. We acknowledge and reckon with the fact that many of us are simultaneously members of both oppressed and oppressing groups. We reject society's tendency to step over someone else in order to get ourselves to a position above them.
"Black lives matter." "God is love." "Love is love." "All are welcome." "God makes room."
These are not just social media hashtags or feel-good catchphrases.
We proclaim that we were all made in the Divine Image, made in Goodness and Love, connected to each other through what we call the Spirit; and that our faith(fulness) is both an invitation and a responsibility to help each other learn and continue the anti-oppression, anti-empire teachings and work that Jesus demonstrated.
