“But the arc of the biblical narrative includes a very important temporal pause button that the Dominionists ignore: we await the kingdom, we don’t impose it.

“We bring these insights to the table of public debate as a proposal to consider, not a fiat to be imposed. We hope to change things, but we see democracy as a gift for the saeculum and understand we need to persuade our neighbours.”
“...The biblical narrative teaches us to expect pluralism and difference in the meantime.” This is a good piece from @james_ka_smith from a couple of years ago. Seems fitting now as the church tears itself apart over who gets to be in control. We’re called to witness, not win.
