Rejected for Antizionism

We need a non Christian framework for ethics. My compass is christocentric, but by no means should my actions be based in Christianity, which is repulsive to me. When I reached out to a faith leader of color who is big in racial justice, this person still declined to meet with an antizionist rabbi.  This is perhaps an example of selective antiracism. Zionism is absolutely a form of racism and needs to combatted with all other types of abuse.

To not see another person. It is dehumanizing. This is what the parable of the good Samaratin and the Cannanite’s daughter was all about. 

 

About Christian Minus Christianity

Christian Minus Christianity is a budding community created to challenge imperialism, nationalism, and racism in many forms of US-American Christianity. It is a work of contextual theology created from the perspective of a white Christian of conscience.

Palestinian theologian Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri, academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College, wrote about this project:

“I do think it’s important to dismantle imperial Christianity in a form, and for the reign of God to liberate the oppressed and God’s entire creation from systems of supremacy, exploitation, and destruction. I also believe that every theologian and Christian are doing theology from their own context, wherever they are. All theologies are contextual.”
