Sermon: Jesus and the Demons – #MeToo

Last updated on: January 29, 2018 at 2:19 pm By Adam Ericksen

This is a sermon I preached at Clackamas United Church of Christ, in Milwaukie, Oregon. The texts were Deuteronomy 18:15-20 and Mark 1:21-28. You can read the text or watch the recorded sermon below. Our Hebrew Bible reading this morning has Moses promising the people that after he dies, God will send them a prophet to instruct and guide them. God has sent many prophets throughout the ages to instruct and guide us. We generally think of prophets simply as... Read more

[VIDEO] Nonviolent Atonement and the Lectionary: Deuteronomy 18:15-20; Mark 1:21-28

Last updated on: January 27, 2018 at 12:38 pm By Adam Ericksen

I’m starting a new discussion series on Facebook titled Nonviolent Atonement and the Lectionary. We’ll explore the upcoming lectionary texts in relation to mimetic theory, nonviolence, and the atonement. This first installment is about Deuteronomy 18:15-20 and Mark 1:21-28. These are difficult texts that I would probably avoid if I didn’t follow the lectionary, but I follow the lectionary because it forces me to deal with texts about … demon possession. Fun! In Deuteronomy 18:15-20, Moses, the great prophet of... Read more

Expanding the Conversation on Consent from Intimate Relations to International Relations: Make Love Not War

Last updated on: January 31, 2018 at 8:10 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

I spent a great deal of time last week following the controversy surrounding the recent Babe article explicitly detailing pseudonymous Grace’s date with Aziz Ansari. As article after article offered various interpretations of Grace’s experience, one thing became abundantly clear: these awkward, uncomfortable, “is-this-abuse-or-just-a-bad-date” experiences are far too common, even ordinary. Being in a situation in which one is uncomfortable or even afraid to verbalize a clear rejection is commonplace for women and perhaps, to a degree, for men too.... Read more

How Liberal Outrage Normalizes the Worst of Trump

Last updated on: January 26, 2018 at 7:50 am By Suzanne Ross

Liberal outrage has become a sacred duty. Fueled by the fear that Trump’s racist, misogynist and bellicose worldview will become “normalized”, outrage has become the unquestioned tactic of the left. They believe that vociferous opposition gives evidence that this stuff is not normal and never should be. But the opposite is actually true: Outrage normalizes the very thing it opposes. If liberals want to take up arms against Trump’s worst outbursts, the best tactic would be to heed the Queenly... Read more

God Is Nonviolent Love: Creation Stories, Baptism, and Martin Luther King Jr

Last updated on: January 17, 2018 at 8:55 am By Adam Ericksen

The creation story in Genesis 1 starts with “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Those are familiar words to us. We may not be able to recite what God created on certain days, but we know God spoke the world into existence. And God looks at what God has created at the end of the first day, and God says, “And it was good.” In fact, God says “And it was good after days each day... Read more
