why should we need protection from the church?

Last updated on: June 6, 2013 at 7:24 am By David Hayward

Why should we need protection from the church? Why should we need advocates against it? Why do we so often have to self-advocate against it? Why is abuse within the church a daily news item? Because it is a human institution. Barth said that religion is like a crater that the initial impact of a profound event left behind. Add to that the continuing changes of the crater. Add to that the tourist attractions. Add to that the need to... Read more

men in power and sexual assault

Last updated on: June 5, 2013 at 6:17 pm By David Hayward

Sexual assault has dramatically increased in the military and the Joint Chiefs baffle the senators with their responses. A class action suit for sexual harassment has been filed against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The responses of those in power are both defensive and superficially apologetic. Read more

emotionally invested preconceived stereotype of women

Last updated on: June 5, 2013 at 7:34 am By David Hayward

When I saw this video of Fox News’ Megyn Kelly taking on two men in a heated argument about stereotyping women, it only confirmed to me that beneath all the layers of reasoning there resides a deep-seated, gut-level emotional conviction that women must fulfill their stereotypical roles. Some promote education as the answer. But it is obvious to me that it takes more than education. It takes humility and a willingness to change. How one gets to a place of being... Read more

Rob Bell’s bullshit

Last updated on: June 4, 2013 at 1:10 pm By David Hayward

Rob Bells said “bullshit” on Andrew Wilson’s radio show. This image immediately popped into my mind. I found out about this from Tony Jones. Read more

Jesus has something to say about the Bible

Last updated on: June 4, 2013 at 6:55 am By David Hayward

Of course this is true. Just because something isn’t factually or historically true, it doesn’t mean it isn’t truthfully true. True? (Hey! You know about my online community The Lasting Supper, don’t you?) Read more

paint brushes, an artist and predestination

Last updated on: June 3, 2013 at 6:56 pm By David Hayward

Are you an artist? You didn’t realize you had so much power, did you? You can choose a brush to serve you. You can leave a brush consigned to neglect for the rest of its days. Actually, Barth’s understanding of predestination helps me. Calvin still located it in the individual. Barth felt he didn’t carry his Christocentricity far enough. For Barth, Christ is both the abandoned one and the loved one, the condemned and elected one, the rejected and the... Read more

dogs and cats argue theology

Last updated on: June 3, 2013 at 7:16 am By David Hayward

Dogs are faithful and serve. They are a suitable metaphor for a church member. Cats are fickle and are served. They are a suitable metaphor for a church member. So perhaps we and the church are made for each other. Or we are the same thing. You can’t point at one without pointing at the other. (You can get a fine art print of this cartoon in my shop!)

questioning the pastor’s authority

Last updated on: June 2, 2013 at 8:49 am By David Hayward

Remember the story of the servant who informs David that he can rejoice because Saul is dead? David has him executed for messing with God’s anointed. This has been used on me many times. It’s being used on people today. Yes, today. Do you know how it feels to be threatened with divine punishment for questioning someone in spiritual authority? Do you know what it is like to be chastised for questioning God’s anointed people? I do. Fear is a... Read more

Jesus loves Cheerios hates racism

Last updated on: June 1, 2013 at 6:13 pm By David Hayward

I saw the news on this the other day. It’s been bugging me. I finally drew a cartoon. The racial slurs Cheerios’ ad on Youtube involving an interracial family received were so cruel they finally shut down the comments section. Seriously! Read more
