I am not surprised that the Pentagon supports trolling Canadian teenagers who volunteer to serve our nation. We are proud of our cadets. As for the Pentagon, they abandoned sailors without provisions, committed war crimes at sea and murdered 168 school girls. What a fucking disgusting institution.

Israel's attacks on Lebanon have caused Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz again. Fixed it for you AP.

History will note that Israel was allowed by the West to murder who they want in a genocide, illegal invasion, an apartheid ethnostate - and the only demand the West made in this context is that the victims and opposition not say anything even vaguely negative about Israel.

No. Just an enthusiast for the oft overlooked undercurrents of politics and economics in the world of Jesus and the affect(s) of ignoring them in our own time as people of faith.

To read it is to better understand what the church must not be or become, and therefore, what it might yet be called to grow into. That's my plug! /end

margins. In short, Das Kapital is a work of negative pastoral theology. It clears the ground by naming the anti-kingdom structures that deform vocation, fracture community, and confuse the nature of the church with the nature of the market.

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

A pastoral theology shaped by this critique moves from being a chaplaincy to the comfortable to a solidarity with the dispossessed. It recognizes that the church's true nature is not found in institutional success, but in its capacity to be a site of resistance to the reduction of persons to profit

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

It reorients pastoral care toward class and solidarity. Traditional pastoral care tends toward the therapeutic, addressing an individuals anxiety. Marx shows that anxiety is not just psychological but ontological under a system that treats human life as variable capital.

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Or is it the ekklesia, a gathered body whose very existence is a form of common property? Das Kapital shows that a church which does not understand how economic abstraction (debt) shapes its communal life will mistake its structural captivity for spiritual failure.

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Marx's critique of primitive accumulation, the violent process by which common goods are privatized, forces the church to examine its own nature. Is the church a voluntary association of atomized individuals (bourgeois subjects) who consume religious good and services?

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

fidelity or contemplative depth, but by 'growth,' 'engagement,' and 'relevance.' The result is a vocational depression rooted not in a lack of faith, but in a structural contradiction: the pastor is forced to treat their own being as capital to be invested, rather than a gift to be received.

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

It illuminates the pathology of clerical alienation. The pastor, forced to function as a small-business manager, a content creator, and a metrics-driven administrator, experiences the same extraction Marx describes. The pastor's spiritual labour is commodified; its value is determined not by...

110

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Marx's core insight that under capitalism, labour is alienated from its product, from its own activity, from its community, and from its own humanity. This insight can serve as a precise diagnostic tool for the crises facing both pastor and parish.

Chris Travers @muggin.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Hear me out. I'll try and keep this explanation short. The pastoral model tends to reduce ministry to the management of spiritual scarcity: a finite pool of time, resources and energy. 1/n

Absolutely and this I can agree with. It was the individual choice that I was having trouble with especially after hearing a number of calls for removing any passage referring to Israel/Jews (I think we can agree that is ridiculous) because of the genocide.

I'm sure that he does in the classroom, and I should have been clearer about the individual decision to remove verses from public worship.

Numerous dangerous words in Scripture have been misused for various purposes (slavery, genocide, abuse, etc). I would hope that a Professor would understand the value of teaching about their misuse rather than the reactionary approach of simply not reading them.

It's more concerning that the NDP don't understand the Westminster parliamentary system, where, although controversial, the practice of floor crossing is legal with no federal rules triggering a by-election.
