Sermon: Take What Belongs to You and Go!

Last updated on: September 28, 2017 at 5:13 pm By Tom Truby

In the kingdom of heaven no one is entitled because everything is given gratuitously. It’s all grace! -Rev. Tom Truby Pastors have a frequent question when they begin to discover mimetic theory. “That’s great. But how does it preach?” Reverend Tom Truby shows that mimetic theory is a powerful tool that enables pastors to preach the Gospel in a way that is meaningful and refreshing to the modern world. Each week, Teaching Nonviolent Atonement will highlight his sermons as examples of preaching... Read more

Trump’s Mythical Narrative: Truth, Lies, and the NFL

Last updated on: September 27, 2017 at 7:41 am By Adam Ericksen

Do you remember two weeks ago when Donald Trump surprised everyone by working with Democrats to come to a consensus on the DREAM Act? Many thought the president was finally pivoting. He was turning a new leaf by attempting to unify the country. His base wasn’t happy, but many of us were hopeful that the leader of the US might be moving in a new direction. But then Friday happened. Trump decided to pick a fight with the NFL. He... Read more

God’s Justice Is Good News: Claiming Restorative Justice

Last updated on: September 27, 2017 at 7:33 am By Adam Ericksen

Some people claim that Jesus didn’t advocate for justice. They have a point if you think that justice and retribution are necessarily connected. But they are not. Jesus transforms our understanding of justice, not by connecting it with retribution, but with forgiveness. Jesus taught his disciples to forgive not just 7 times, but 77 times. Obviously, forgiveness isn’t about counting up to 77 times and then quitting. Seven is the symbolic number for completeness in the Hebrew Bible. Using 77... Read more

Orwell’s 1984: Rethinking Doublethink

Last updated on: September 19, 2017 at 1:08 pm By Suzanne Ross

AstonRep Theatre Company is bringing an adaption of George Orwell’s prescient novel, 1984, to the Chicago stage and their timing couldn’t be more perfect. Our public discourse seems to have slid down the rabbit hole of “doublethink”, Orwell’s wonderful expression for deliberately forgetting what we know to be true so we can believe a lie. The line between fact and opinion has become so blurry that it has become fashionable to quote Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan who said, “You are... Read more

I Refuse To Accept That Permanent War Is Inevitable

Last updated on: September 18, 2017 at 10:44 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

Twice in less than 24 hours I’ve been told that there is little we can do about our state of permanent war. I was told this by people I respect and who I know, in their own ways, are working toward goals of reducing suffering and making the world a kinder place. In each case, there was a context to their words. Though the contexts were different, the essential message from each of these people was that we need to... Read more

Sermon: Beautiful Community with No Bitterness

Last updated on: September 13, 2017 at 1:56 pm By Tom Truby

“Jesus seems to be modeling a way of reducing and defusing tension in a community. He refuses to throw a stumbling block in front of his neighbor. Sometimes you do things even though you technically wouldn’t have to just because you know your neighbor will interpret it badly. Acting in love for the other is your criteria, not law.” Pastors have a frequent question when they begin to discover mimetic theory. “That’s great. But how does it preach?” Reverend Tom Truby...
