Jesus Christ lived and preached love and acceptance of all, but it increasingly seems like the most vocal Christians are preaching intolerance and hatred. So we, as Christians who believe in Christ's true message, think it's past time for us to exercise our right of rebuttal.
Note that the aim of this day is not to evangelise to non-Christians about our religious beliefs, but rather to evangelise to other Christians about our political beliefs, and to strengthen ourselves in fellowship with others who take these beliefs as not merely compatible with, but actually required by, our religion.
This Pentecost we're going to blog about what Jesus's message means for us, and what we believe it means for how the Christian church should support its members and the members of the communities around us. We invite all other Christians to join us with your own blog posts, whether you believe in:
* LGBTQ rights, * women's rights to choose an abortion, * freedom of religion, * evolution, * social justice, * or any other message of love.
(The final paragraph could be moved up a bit, as above, if you wanted it closer to the beginning.)
I'm all for starting to post about it now, as if people are anything like me, they'll need at least three reminders before they remember it. Also the whole signal boosting thing needs time to work.
I've joined the DW community but haven't had an invite for the LJ one yet. Is that right or have I lost an email somewhere?
