If you're a minister or ministry oriented toward justice and inclusion, and looking for belonging, credentialing, and practical support rooted in mutuality and interdependence, please check out the first draft of our 1.0 Guiding Document here: shorturl.at/ZSNMD

It just needs to be said again and again...
Building an organization driven by and centered around one person is not a better way forward. It's the same.
It might be okay for a while. But the bigger you build, the more power and influence are gonna mess you up.

If you’re gonna use Genesis 1-3 to support a traditional male-female gender binary, then you gotta take the rest of it literally and at face value too, 6 day creation with talking snake and all.

I don’t make the rules. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We’re rethinking denominations and creating a more flexible, relational support structure for ministers and ministries committed to the work of love, justice, and inclusion.

Ok, finally time to finish Single’s Inferno S4!

Let’s get it together, Si-an-ssi. 😅

If you're a spiritual innovator or changemaker who wants to connect and collaborate with others to help co-create a more just, equitable, and inclusive world, Soularize might be for you.

So, white Evangelicals are on the same side as Nazis now?
Ok, cool, cool…

Rage Against the Machine is a good listen today.

It hurts (and boggles my mind) to see Evangelical denominations jump to discipline and kick out clergy for officiating a same-sex wedding but not for racism, sexism, Christian nationalism, greed, etc.

Funny how it works but just seems like the pastors who do the most finger pointing and yelling about “false teachers” are usually themselves the false teachers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s very hard to love when you’re trying to win.

As a newbie here, my three wishes for @bsky.app:

1. Longer character limit (Threads' 500 was great)
2. Editing
3. Drafts

Any chance? Please?

Most traditional denominations are in decline.
Non-denominationalism is on the rise.

What if there are better options for ministers and ministries than being dependent on a centralized hierarchy OR being independent with no support or accountability?

My wife reads the coolest books

For any chance at a better future, the Church must shift from a hierarchical mindset to a network one.

This will require challenging many underlying assumptions about "church" and learning a whole new set of skills for how we relate to one another.

1/4 Hi, I’m Eugene, and I'm passionate about the need for systemic change and innovation, especially in the Church!

I wear many hats, but the common thread is designing and cultivating new and better systems for a more loving, just, and inclusive world.
