yo! I’ve seen some of your posts around, so I figured I’d come to the source. I’ve been hesitant to engage with liberation theology as my journey moving away from of the evangelical faith I was raised in still feels recent, amorphous and short (I’m still in undergrad). I’m wondering how you’d present liberation theology to someone who’s wary but willing to engage with theology after a couple years of attempted cold turkey, but really interested in gaining consciousness of white supremacy in the way they might generalize the Christianity they reject

liberation theology is at its core not white theology. it's inceptors are all latino. its also catholic. i find it as antithical to evangelical christianity as you can get without actually going outside of christianity. evangelicalism is inherently capitalistic and protestant. liberation theology deeply marxist. it is the lived, rather than theoretical, preference for the poor and marginalized.

but liberation theology is hard. it's hard to live and it's hard to practice. it requires an exteriority that feels dangerous and vulnerable. it is vulnerable. liberation theology means liberation for everyone: not only those we like and can empathize with, but also those we do not like. our oppressors, our tormentors, our abusers. it is recognizing how everyone is in their own secret bondage and knowing that where human justice falls short, God's justice is eternal, infernal, and beautiful. it's generous. the world is not.

liberation theology also asserts the divine goodness of God, because a God who loves us is also a God who will liberate us. this is the whole thread that runs through the story of christianity when it is stripped of institutionalized bigotry and dogma. God's story is a love story. he is trying to break the chains we make for ourselves. the chains we are forced to wear by others.

my general primer for intro to liberation theology is gustavo guiterrez, leonardo boff (both latino liberation theologians, the father of the field), and james cone (black theology). also marcella althaus-reid and carter heyward (queer and indecent theology), naim ateek (palestinian liberation theology), and m shawn copeland (womanist, or black feminist, liberation theology). this isnt comprehensive, but they are the liberation theologians i've read and loved, as a person who felt disconnected from my faith after interactions with the evangelical church, when i was trying to find my way back to God just after i finished undergrad.

i will also add, you mentioned you're still in undergrad. you have God's whole messy eternity ahead of you to find him. he wants you: if you want him, he's waiting. you'll find him. you've got this.

* * * Independence Day History Lesson * * *

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? 🤔

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they? 👇

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

DuBose Heyward's Porgy started out as a novel, was turned into a play by Heyward's wife Dorothy, and finally an opera by George Gershwin, by which it is best known. This is a scene from the play, which opened in 1927. It was a big hit, running for 367 performances.

In this scene from Act II, Scene 1, left to right: Jack Carter as Crown, Wesley Hill as Jake, A. B. Comethiere as Simon Frazier, Rose MacClendon as Serena, Richard Huey as Mingo, Frank Wilson as Porgy, unidentified actor in the background, Georgette Harvey as Maria and Evelyn Ellis as Bess.

meet grace 💜🪻

some headcanons i had about my oc from my fic

name: grace olivia carter.

face claim: barbara palvin sprouse

she's a huge lover, kind to everyone and loved by the whole island (even the kooks like her despite her being a pogue)

like everyone greets her and she'll be like omg hi nance, how's the new baby? and she genuinely cares and remembers little things about EVERYONE she meets

she's vegetarian and even though she knows the boys fish to eat, it still upsets her, but she'd never tell them to stop.

doesn't have a good relationship with her family. doesn't know her dad and her mom is very absent, always dating new men and usually on the mainland.

she's known jj the longest because she's his neighbour. luke and her mom hooked up once and gracie sobbed for a week straight because she couldn't comprehend her mom being with someone who treats the love of her life (jj) like that.

she was so conflicted when she started to catch feelings for pope bc she felt like she was betraying her love for jj even tho they weren't together.

so much inner turmoil only for both boys to be totally hearteyes for her too.

she is always looking for sea life but isn't super fond of swimming because the darkness of the ocean scares her. wears a life vest when on the boat with her friends sometimes if they go out deeper than the coast.

loves to take pictures of her friends and make collages. her room is covered with them

she has a polaroid camera she takes with her everywhere and saves up tip money from her job to buy film

makes little friendship bracelets for everyone and they all wear them and would never dream of taking them off.

once john bs broke and he lost it surfing and he cried into her stomach until she pet his hair and made him a new one.

she's very physically affectionate with everyone so it's not uncommon for her to be sitting or hanging onto a pogue

it's why no one thought anything was different once her, pope, and jj started dating bc she always cuddled them like that before. now she just sneaks in kisses when no one is watching hehehe.

after her and pope started dating she asked pope and mrs heyward to teach her how to care for and style popes hair because acts of service is one of her love languages. it was also a lovely way to bond with pope and his family

she let jj give her a stick and poke tattoo on her thigh that says lover

when the three of them started dating she obsessively googled and watched so much porn involving 2 dudes because she was a virgin and wanted to be good for them

despite being a lover girl and kind to everyone she'll secretly destroy your life if you hurt someone she loves- she can be MANIACAL but no one will know it was her.

i have so many more headcanons for this girl. please ask me questions if you want!!

Random question: Your top 5 character (any fandom)?

oooo this is a tough one lovely! i love it! and, as per usual, i can never choose just one.

5. winston bishop (new girl)

100% my favourite new girl character. winston steals the show.

4. chase carter (offside - book), adam carlson (the love hypothesis book)

these are my book boyfriends. i love them so much. mawh! perfection. both of them!

3. olive smith (the love hypothesis - book)

she is me, but more successful and smarter (also different career paths)

2. jj maybank and pope heyward (outer banks)

i don't think this surprises anyone at this point.

fred weasley (harry potter), george weasley (harry potter), and stiles stilinski (teen wolf)

also don't think this surprises anyone at this point.

[givemearmstopraywith]

not to be insane but do you have any readings about religious bdsm or things w those vibes? ily <3

hi yes i do! i just finished writing a thesis about this actually

Jeffrey J. Kripal, Roads of Excess, Palaces of Wisdom: Eroticism and Reflexivity in the Study of Mysticism. (University of Chicago Press, Chicago: 2001) + Jeffrey Kripal, Kali’s Child: The Mystical and Erotic in the Life and Teachings of Ramakrishna, (University of Chicago Press, Chicago: 1996) + kali's child is not about christianity but it is a fantastic work on eroticism and religion from the hindu perspective (however kripal is white and was trained as a priest, so bear that in mind)

Carter Heyward. Touching Our Strength: The Erotic as Power and the Love of God. (Harper & Row, 2009)

Jeremy Carrette, "Intense Exchange: Sadomasochism, Theology and the Politics of Late Capitalism." Theology and Sexuality, vol. 11, no. 1 (April 2005), pp. 11-30 

Joseph Rogers, "Do Not Despise the Discipline of the Almighty: God as Leather Daddy and Reading Job through Althaus-Reid." Religions, vol. 8, no. 10.

Robert E. Shore-Goss, "Queer incarnational bedfellows" in Contemporary Theological Approaches to Sexuality (Routledge, New York: 2017) + all of robert shore-goss's work in general (he was the acting chaplain at avatar, the largest gay leather club in los angeles, for a number of years, and previously trained to be a priest- i adore him and his work)

Susannah Cornwall, "The future of sexuality debates in the Church: shared challenges and opportunities for theological ‘traditionalists’ and ‘revisionists’," Modern Believing vol. 62, no. 1 (January 2021) + cornwall has written extensively about intersex people in theology, i highly recommend her scholarship

Marcella Althaus-Reid, Indecent Theology: Theological Perversions in Sex, Gender and Politics. (Routledge, New York: 2000 + this might be my favourite book on this list and i recommend it to everyone, althaus-reid is an extraordinary thinker and her work in general is worth looking into

Margot Weiss, Techniques of Pleasure: BDSM and the Circuits of Sexuality. Duke University Press (London, 2011) is a book i recommend to anyone who is interested in or exploring bdsm, its a great starter book though not explicitly religious

Georges Bataille, Erotism: Death and Sensuality. Translated by Mary Dalwood. (City Lights Books, San Francisco: 1986) + bataille in general is a great philosopher, i also recommend Guilty trans. Bruce Boone

When Did We See You Naked? Jesus as a Victim of Sexual Abuse, ed. Jayme R. Reaves, David Tombs, and Rocío Figùeroa (SCM Press, London: 2021) + david tombs is a forerunner in reading the crucifixion as sexual abuse, approaching it from the methodological viewpoint of human rights abuses in latin america. this isn't about bdsm, but it is about sexuality in theology and it provides an incredibly necessary counterpoint to any discussion of power dynamics.

i'm missing a few titles but i'll look through my library and add them when i can.

edit: bolded my favourites, also heyward is the only book that to my knowledge is not available on zlib or annas-archive.
