I had an interesting thought. When I was an undergrad I took a whole class on Dostoevsky. One thing they talked about was that his writing was crisis-time, what was called “threshold” time. People always stand on the threshold of a door about to enter in his books. While Tolstoy is historical time. It’s like white people are in historical time and thrust everyone else in crisis all over the world for the sake of our stability. And you get us together and there is this placidness, like a still lake, and we keep the struggling people we’re drowning below us, kicking them down while maintaining small talk. It’s never the “right time” for justice. We’re in historical time. I’ll write more about it later.
White People are in Historical Time…and It’s Not Good
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.”
