From December 1-25, I’ll be sharing a quote and its truth from John Fugelsang’s Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock-Fleecing Frauds, the book Robert and I are currently and fascinatingly reading.
An odd Advent Calendar, of sorts.
If you are interested, you can see the introduction to this new blog category here:
Fugelsang:
“It is understood that long ago, Christianity began as a nondiscriminatory movement that ostracized no one.” p. 142
No One
“Because the early church was established in diversity, equity, and inclusion.” p. 143

A thoughtful and beautifully framed reflection—your “Advent Calendar of truth” is a meaningful way to pair the season’s spirit with the call to compassion at the heart of Fugelsang’s message. Highlighting the early church’s roots in radical inclusion feels especially powerful today. It’s a gentle reminder, simply and clearly offered, of what love in action was always meant to be.
