I started a rant about this earlier, but never actually posted it. In the meantime, some better writers than I have posted some good articles, so that I don’t have to. This one points to several of the best, so I’ll just point you there. Also, check out this story from The Christian Century from last May about Trinity UCC. Also, I thought this note from Rev. John Thomas was great. My last thought on the subject for today, I read another story today that I can’t find a link to now (I’ll update when I find it again) that made a good point. During the 80s and 90s, white preachers from the “Religious Right” could get away with saying how screwed up our country was and be invited to the White House. The article clearly said it better, I hope I can find it again tomorrow.
