#PresbyIntersect starts in 30 minutes with @CHolderRich! #PCUSA #WhiteChristianAmerica pic.twitter.com/7VYqGeWpfT- Super excited to have @CHolderRich - scholar, pastor, inspiring writer. You can find her work at http://www.ecclesio.com #presbyintersect
- @cholderrich provided a summary on the book here:
- Jumping in with question 1:
The End of White Christian America synopsis.docx
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxnkxilFpQ19YzJBWk43ZjBVOVVxZFNmeHBYV085YkRtYnlj/view?usp=drive_web&usp=embed_facebook- Ok friends. Q1. How does the title strike you? White means nonhispanic. Christian doesn't include Rom Catholic. #presbyintersect
- Those definitions via the book? Or because Rom. Catholics include more people of color? #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/cholderrich/status/776235386045628416 …
- A1. It really narrows the scope of "Christian." But he's critiquing main line and evangelical? #presbyintersect https://twitter.com/cholderrich/status/776235386045628416 …
- #PresbyIntersect A1. Glad it's over. White Christian America has been a deadly combination. Bad news for Presby's though.
- Q1. I was surprised someone actually had the guts to say what has been the experience for our denom for decades...tbh #presbyintersect
- Q1 W. Christian Amer. has often meant the oppression and promo of twisted theo. toward the marginalized, not sad its ending #presbyintersect
- A1. Interested in he criteria for the omitting of Roman Catholics #PresbyIntersect
- A1: The title makes me think about the wane of WASP culture. #PresbyIntersect
- A1: And I think it's more than change in demographics and also about a cultural form of Christianity: #PresbyIntersect
- A1. Thinking about reports of decline & how that doesn't seem to be the reality for PoC in church. #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/CHolderRich/status/776235386045628416 …
- A1. Makes me continue to ask do people know its over? Things can be over yet continued (in people) #PresbyIntersect
- A1: Not sure what it means, @CHolderRich ... planning to learn more as we go. #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/CHolderRich/status/776235386045628416 …
- A1: Hard for me to address ... I never considered White Christian America ... just simply AMERICA #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/CHolderRich/status/776235386045628416 …
- Ah, yes @renee_roederer WASP comes to mind for me too. A rather unsettling connection but seems to fit #PresbyIntersect
- Q1 the author limits the scope of the book as he argues that white, non Hispanic Protestant s used to hold the power. #presbyintersect
- A1. The lifelong "churched" now have to express their faith 2 ppl who don't feel obligated to go. #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/CHolderRich/status/776237898647629824 …
- Question 2.
- Great thoughts! Q2 demographic changes, rise of nones/dones, change the way we do ministry. How so? See summary for stats #presbyintersect
- A2 Sometimes, these changes aren't affecting the way we're doing ministry. Doubling down on old forms. #PresbyIntersect
- Q2: Changing demographics, changing religion, changing ministry ... sounds like business-as-usual #PresbyIntersect https://twitter.com/CHolderRich/status/776237898647629824 …
