Chicago church declares a divisive war on whiteness
Opinion by Christopher Tremoglie - Yesterday 3:05 PM
 
Usually, Lenten penance involves repenting, renouncing sin, and relinquishing worldly pleasures in favor of fasting and prayer. It is a commemoration of the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, culminating with the celebration of his crucifixion and resurrection.

 But not at the First United Church of Oak Park, where a toxic and divisive crusade against white people is apparently replacing real Lenten observances. The Rev. John Edgerton has declared a "fast from Whiteness," which is to say that he is banning music and liturgies composed or arranged by white people.
 
“In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people," the church states on its website. "Our music will be drawn from the African American spiritual tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more.”

This should make the ilk of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nazi Pelosi, Gen. Milley, and Lori Lightfoot deliriously happy and proud.

'Whiteness' is Marxist dog whistle code speak for 'freedom and capitalism.'

It also sounds very similar to the way they used to talk about the Jews in the Third Reich.

Indeed.

For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:13


There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:28

. . since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Colossians 3:9-14

Not that I would ever be a member of his congregation, but if I was and this White SOB tried guilty me for being White under the guise of Easter worship I would be out of there so fast that his socialist version of the Bible would be spinning in his hands. Who does he think he is?

The words "False Prophet" come to mind.
