How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!
~ Psalm 133:1 (NRSV)
Lord, give us new eyes to see each other as persons of value, REGARDLESS of political persuasion!
May God’s love and grace enable us to reach across the divisions in our beloved country.

I can't claim to be a Christian theologian, but this seems consistent with what I know about Christian theology.

Happy heavenly birthday to Dad. He was an imperfect man with a big, big heart and a love for our Creator that he modeled in ways seen and unseen.
He was a noisy advocate for full LGBTQ+ inclusion in the UMC before the church was ready. I’m proud to be his little girl. #imagodei #beumc

They say art imitates life; I wrote a book on how Silicon Valley tech today imitates religion so effectively, it now outdoes the original as the most powerful, sometimes most fanatical form of worship in the world. So why *wouldn't* churches now try to imitate the imitation? #ImagoDei #TechAgnostic.
In the SF Bay Area, a local church has taken up the terminology & cultural ethos of technology companies, encouraging people to “start up” their faith.
“Dream, Design, Develop, Deploy.”
What it is they want you to deploy, I’m unsure!

What if the great awakening in the US focused on the #imagodei as much as it did hell? What if the past 100 years featured the market for works on the #imagodei rather than dispensational #eschatology? Would evangelicals have been able to recognize the antichrist in our midst now

I won't share the cursed image but suffice it to say: Racism is a sin.
It is blasphemy against the #ImagoDei & a direct violation of Christ's Greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:34-40, John 13:34).

A college student from my town (approximately 30k) had their Visa revoked for no apparent reason. It’s happening all over folks, and it’s not cool.
How anyone who thinks they are a Christian is okay with this is beyond comprehension. This is not what Jesus would do.

One way to have faith & hope is by remembering--remembering the women in the Bible & throughout Christian history who worked alongside men, lost or erased women whose stories have been resurrected by scholars, theologians, & historians. #imagodei www.visualmuseum.gallery/podcast/

PSA: just because politicians make the #imagodei a political talking point, it doesnt make it a political issue… it’s still a theological issue… it’s still a discipleship issue.

Nat M. Esparza calls us to design communities where disabled and trans people are imagined in from the start. Not charity—sacred care. Not inclusion after the fact—but justice by design.

When you deny the #imagodei you have denied Jesus. Plain and simple. Matthew 25 is as explicit as can be about this. The #imagodei is an essential doctrine.

Why the IMAGO DEI is an Essential Doctrine
The IMAGO DEI is not some doctrine to be debated about and disagreed on. The IMAGE of GOD is fundamental to Christocentric Theology.
