| barrons, I don't think 'black liberation theology' emanated from the 1950's. I think Wright is caught in the 70's, not the '50's. But I think it was probably said on this thread or another thread, if not, so I'll repeat or merely say it: This is transparently jealousy, i.m.o., on the part of the pastor -- and/or resentment -- akin to the Jesse Jackson et al. line of questioning of Barack's "black credentials."
I've attended churches too liberal (in some aspects) with regard to their theology -- or in other words, too polemic for my taste, when I don't attend or participate for political reasons or to hear conformist rhetoric. I merely put up with it now and then if the *spirituality* of the church or parish is the persuasive motivation to join or attend. I am not comfortable with those moments of groupthink & am not asked for my assent to that line of thought when I enter the church doors, or exit.
Spirituality and politics are 2 different things. ("Render to Caesar....", etc.) |
