Friends, With the recent revealing of the sexual crime of the now-resigned Gateway Church pastor Robert Morris, I’m reminded about how evangelical-style religion drives so much underground—our uniqueness, our goodness, and yes, our sexuality. There’s also power, often patriarchal power, capitalistic and even nationalistic power, lurking in the darkness underneath the bright and shiny performative faith you find in evangelicalism.
This is very timely. Thanks for writing this.
