If you think you are unworthy of God’s love and deserve only God’s wrath, you will also think you are unworthy of universal healthcare and deserving of a broken healthcare system.

I’ve become convinced that ancient Celtic Christian Theology is white liberation theology. And by “white liberation theology”, I mean this: White folks need to be liberated from Empire too.

Them: “We don’t want millions of foreigners here!” Me: “Great! When are you returning back to Europe then?” Them: “What? No - we get to stay. We just don’t want people who aren’t like us here.” White supremacy is so stupid.

Burn down Empire’s Christianity and set the captives free from within its imaginations. And from its ashes, may an ancient, precolonial Christianity that looks, tastes and smells like Jesus arise!

As a Priest who is also a 5th generation Pentecostal, the work of decolonization is basically the work of exorcising the demons of the western church.

“There is no people group that Christ has not already made himself known to. Or in other words, contrary to what we were taught in our evangelical upbringings, there are no people groups who are ‘unreached’ by the love of God.”

This week's lectionary Gospel text is "THE GREAT COMISSION" (echo echo echo). I think that we've used this to too often colonize our neighbors, and we need a different way to show neighbor love. Here's an old essay about one way out of this murky mire. theclutteredmouth.com/i-desire-mer...

A book I am reading by @joashpthomas.bsky.social has reinforced my concern that an explicit & concrete commitment to justice in multiple forms is necessary to avoid the trap of defining progressive Christianity as nice & vaguely centrist.

Western theology has nothing on eastern theology. This isn’t because to be western is to be inherently bad. It’s because eastern Christianity is closer in proximity to Jesus and the earliest Christians. And it’s because western Christianity has largely been shaped by Empire.

If you follow Jesus because you’re afraid of hell more than you love Jesus, you’re not really following Jesus. And you end up creating hell for others on earth.

Christians can’t go from, “Jesus defeated death!” on Easter Sunday to “Let’s destroy a civilization” 2 days later. Death is the enemy. And Christians have a moral duty to non-violently oppose the empires that kill. Jesus suffered death in Empire’s hands so no one else has to.

I say this as a Christian Priest & Theologian: Any Christianity that threatens to kill an entire civilization needs to be ripped up, shredded & incinerated. Burn it so from its ashes a more ancient, love-oriented Christianity that looks, tastes & smells like Jesus may rise.

If you’ve been parroting Israeli Empire and American Empire talking points to defend the bombing of children in Iran and Gaza all of Lenten season, don’t expect anyone to take you seriously when you say, “He is Risen” on Easter Sunday.

“This Good Friday, don’t rush to Easter. Hold off on posting, “Sunday is coming.” But sit in the weight of Good Friday and the crucified Palestinian detainee sentenced by an apartheid military court to die on the Cross of Calvary.”

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Dear evangelical church marketing teams: Please don’t post “Sunday is coming!” just yet. We still need to get through the heaviness of Good Friday first. If we don’t lament what’s broken, the good news of Easter just won’t feel as good.

My opening line from my Palm Sunday sermon at Elevation Church (not that one) in Waterloo, ON today: My original title for this sermon was ‘Decolonizing Palm Sunday’ but after the events of yesterday, I’ve got a new title for us - ‘Palm Sunday - The Original No Kings Day’

So proud of the Christians marching for justice across the American Empire today. If you get pushback from your family or friends for your witness for justice being ‘unbiblical’, gift them a copy of my book and tell them to read it and get back to you.

Many white Americans will call a couple of Arab / Latino families moving into their neighbourhood “an invasion” and then simp for politicians who bomb and invade the countries their Arab / Latino neighbours are forced to flee.

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

The Bible has over 2000 verses on greed, economic exploitation and systemic injustice against the refugee, the widow and the orphan but only 6 verses on ‘sexual sin’. Empire would rather we focus all our attention on the 6 so that we’re distracted from paying attention to the 2000+. 1/2

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.
