Embodied Faith is a Faith I Can Live With

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 12:10 pm By Sarah Moon

Today, I’m guest posting at Suzannah Paul’s blog on the topic of Embodied Faith. This is a really important topic to me–the idea that my faith matters to my body and to the experiences I have in my body has been so healing and freeing for me. So, I hope you’ll check out my post and the other posts in Suzannah’s series on Embodied Faith! Here’s a quick preview: What theological insight can I gain from my body and from... Read more

Privilege in Christian Pacifism: Fight the Systems, Not the Survivors

Last updated on: October 27, 2013 at 1:36 pm By Sarah Moon

This is the second post in a short series I’ve been working on about the problems that privilege brings in Christian pacifist circles. The first post can be found here. I’m also linking this post up to the Political Jesus synchroblog–The New Pacifism. In my last post on pacifism, I discussed the tendency of many privileged pacifists to shame survivors who do not react to abuse in “approved” non-violent ways. I wrote about how it’s dehumanizing to hear people who... Read more

Privilege in Christian Pacifism: My Life is Not Your Thought Exercise

Last updated on: October 23, 2013 at 5:52 am By Sarah Moon

I wrote this post a few days ago and had it scheduled for today, but since h00die_R is hosting a synchroblog at Political Jesus on the topic of pacifism, I thought I’d link up! Check it out and see if you’d be interested in participating. I’ve been thinking about pacifism lately. It’s come up in my church, in Twitter discussions, and in blog posts. This is not a response specifically to any recent discussions of pacifism, but since it keeps coming up... Read more

I watched John Piper and Douglas Wilson Talk About “Homosexuality, Abortion, and Race” for TWO HOURS

Last updated on: October 17, 2013 at 7:21 am By Sarah Moon

(Update: Now with 100% more Ron Swanson gifs, inspired by my Facebook friend Neal) Pray for me, friends. I shall need a few days to recover from this. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered that Douglas Wilson and John Piper did a roundtable on the topics of “homosexuality, abortion, and race.” I don’t know what possessed me to do this, but I watched the dang thing, and I shared some choice quotes on Twitter yesterday. Much of this video... Read more

On Being A “Liberal Fundamentalist”

Last updated on: October 16, 2013 at 6:37 am By Sarah Moon

Lately I’ve noticed that many liberal Christians do this thing where they accuse other liberal Christians of being “liberal fundamentalists.” Are these accusations of “liberal fundamentalism” warranted? I’m thinking back over the times when I or a friend of mine has been called a “liberal fundamentalist:” When I asked a popular Christian blogger to stop repeatedly using a slur. When a queer friend criticized the organization NALT because of Dan Savage’s (who has a history of biphobia, transphobia, rape apology,... Read more

Resurrection and the Surviving God

Last updated on: October 9, 2013 at 11:41 am By Sarah Moon

Content Note: brief description of a suicide attempt This past year, around Easter, I planned on writing some posts about crucifixion and resurrection. I found I couldn’t really get past the former. I mean, I’m a skeptic on the idea of the literal resurrection of Jesus to begin with, but I found I couldn’t even envision a risen God. A victorious living God. A suffering God? A dying God? An oppressed God? Yeah, I could see that. I could see... Read more
