It is however arguably the natural product of Calvinism.

It’s like evangelicalism taught me in my early days as a Christian - what you think of God does indeed help determine what you think of yourself.

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

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.

After Empire got rid of much of the evidence in both traditions I might add. 😊

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

That is the narrative of Empire; not the historical reality.

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.

Decolonizing faith and the Justice of Jesus

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I’m a Priest and Decolonial Scholar because until the Church decolonizes, we will continue to harm beloved neighbours in creation.

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.

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

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!

My work in a nutshell as a missional priest: Make Christianity Christian Again.

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

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.

So glad this resonated! If you could ask folks to leave an honest review of the book on Amazon and Goodreads after they read it, I’d be so grateful! Helps others find it too.

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Western is more in the head and obsessed with heaven and hell in the afterlife. Eastern is more embodied (like eastern religions) and about the community in the here and now. Massive difference.

If you aren’t following @joashpthomas.bsky.social you definitely need too. He is absolutely brilliant. I also love talking to other Indian Christian’s like Indian Anglicans. We have the best conversations. Also African Christians. We need more perspectives outside western Christianity 1/

Fr. Joash P. Thomas @joashpthomas.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

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.
