This was an incredible anthem. Just perfect.

As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!

The Southern Baptist Convention exists for cooperation in the church's mission: making disciples of Jesus. Cultural renewal is downstream from that. Don't let the cultural tail wag the ecclesial dog.

“Nationalism” can only mean “having a nation” if you are assuming the nationalist definition of “nation,” which is precisely the thing that’s at issue and precisely the thing Eli is correct in saying is a historical development.

The replies are good evidence why the anti-kinist resolutions are prob necessary.

1/ want to speak to @PerfInjust in good faith. He’s always treated me cordially on the couple occasions I’ve met him, and I appreciate that. I think anti-kinism statements in particular are necessary, and I think Stephen doesn’t probably see that because he’s not from the South.

New Christendom Press is hosting a conference in Ogden, UT.
One of the vendors is Antelope Hill, which is selling "The Essential Speeches of Adolph Hitler" and "The Rise of the Reich," a Nazi propaganda text published by the SS.
CN brothers and sisters, it's time to get out.

"Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries"
If you don't understand reactions like these, it's worth studying critical race theory and the language of anti-racism discourse.
A few quotes from Prof. Patton's article: 1/

You attended the Accession Council. You didn't choose the next King of England.

Hi Frances, I know it was 4 yrs ago, but your memory lets you down. You asked to see me on the day that I attended the Privy Council to choose the next King of England.
My minion, as you called her, apologised & offered other dates.
Not a coward, just busy - like many women👑

No it doesn’t good grief.
The PCA doesn’t just have a kinism problem anymore. It has a Nazi problem.

Brian Sauvé and Eric Conn of Refuge Cuurch Ogden are hosting America’s foremost Neonazi, explicitly pro Adolf Hitler publishing house at their New Christendom Press conference.
Anyone denying that Ogden was down with Nazism was wrong. Antelope Hill has on their table at the conference speeches by Adolf Hitler, and the memoirs of an SS officer.
New Christendom Press also publishes PCA Pastor Zachary Garris and antisemite Andrew Isker.

Incredibly honored to finally get the chance to attend a Jack Miller Center Summer Institute. The readings are thrilling and the faculty at this conference are exceptional. I expect lively conversation!

What a disaster, what a blinders-off moment. Christians today have already been disavowing Ogden.

Most midwesterners' historical consciousness about race relations begins with, and is grounded by, 1960s white flight from Detroit, Cleveland etc., meaning it's (1) recent, (2) urban, (3) middle class, and (4) migration-driven.
All four have significant bearing here.
The fact that the Second KKK in the 1920s—which, at 5 million members was by far the most powerful iteration of the Klan—had 75% of its members outside the South, with 40% being from the industrial midwest, is something that lends credence to some of @IVMiles's recent points.

Are you sad because you’re not important enough to get invited to speak here?
Does @Hillsdale approve of one of its professors tweeting out anti-White & hateful racist attacks on American Christians?
If I were a young White American Christian considering Hillsdale, this would absolutely make me cross them off the list.
