Chaffee Management’s new client Rev. Jen Butler has some poignant thoughts in her article published today in Religous News Service (RNS) on World Communion Sinday.

(RNS) — World Communion Sunday should be understood as a ritual that helps us envision ourselves beyond our own religious, racial, gender or national tribe and unified instead by a vision of human and planetary flourishing; a realization that all are one.

🔵 NOVEDAD 🔴

Un fascinante estudio que revela cómo los evangélicos han trabajado en los últimos setenta y cinco años para sustituir al Jesús de los Evangelios por un ídolo de la masculinidad y el nacionalismo cristiano. La aclamada Kristin Kobes Du Mez nos explica que la clave para entender esta transformación es reconocer la centralidad de la cultura popular en el evangelismo estadounidense contemporáneo. Los evangélicos de hoy quizá no sean teológicamente astutos, pero han leído Salvaje de corazón, de John Eldredge, y aprendieron sobre pureza antes de aprender sobre s**o. Y la cultura evangélica está repleta de héroes musculosos, guerreros míticos y soldados rudos; hombres como Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson o John Wayne, que afirman el poder masculino blanco en defensa de la «América cristiana». Así, Du Mez revela cómo Trump representó el cumplimiento de los valores evangélicos blancos más profundamente arraigados, como el patriarcado, el gobierno autoritario, la política exterior agresiva, el miedo al islam, la indiferencia hacia el y la oposición al movimiento Black Lives Matter o a la comunidad LGTBIQ+.

Spanish version of Jesus and John Wayne. A poignant cover!

Enero de 2016. El reverendo Robert Jeffress, pastor de la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Dallas, presentaba a Donald Trump en una pequeña universidad cristiana de Iowa.

Los evangélicos estaban «hartos del statu quo». Buscaban un líder que «invirtiera la espiral mortal descendiente en la que se halla sumido este país que tanto amamos».

«Podría disparar a gente en la Quinta Avenida y no perdería votos». Afirmó el candidato desde el estrado.

Donald Trump era su hombre.

Tomorrow Rachel Held Evans's final book, "Wholehearted Faith," will be released. After her untimely death two years ago, her husband Dan asked Jeff Chu to finish what she had started. Having worked with Rachel for eight years, I am both excited and sad to read her final words.

She gave voice to a generation of wandering evangelicals wrestling with their faith. Two years after her sudden death at age 37, Rachel Held Evans has one more message.

A critical article for all Christians to read. Chaffee Management’s Kristin Kobe’s Du Mez contributes excellent insight throughout the piece.

Christians must reclaim Jesus from his church.

"This is both Bass’s most overtly theological book and her most personal book to date. She brings all of her learning and scholarship to bear in helping us consider different ways of understanding Jesus. In addition, however, she speaks devotionally about her relationship with Jesus and her love for him. She does so in an unabashed manner that can be a bit startling at first, but it gives her narrative its verve....We are not used to reading such words of devotion from someone who might be described as a progressive."

Freeing Jesus is not the kind of book we expect from someone with a PhD.
