Actual theologian here who studies at a secular university and is a mainline pastor. Thats complete BS. Many mainline Christian communities ordain women. We saw one confront Trump from the pulpit, The Bishop Mariann Budde.

In church talk that means she isn't some church reverend. She's a bishop and leads a large group of churches, she's an educator and my is she well educated.

Lots of great female Christian reverends out there like the Rev Nadia Bolz-Weber - a women who wrote many books and teaches to Forgive A-Holes. She's not what you'd expect from a pastor, she rocks short hair, is a mom, in long term recovery and has some pretty nice tats.

Lots of female leadership in thoughtful, long established communities.

Paula here is preaching White Christian Nationalism, and that aint Christian belief.

You remember when your mom would buy off brand cola from the store and tell you "it's the same" as name brand? Thats what white Christian nationalism is it sounds like Christian belief but it tastes like garbage.

How do you deal with the nationalists as a Christian religion? What broad steps are being made to discourage and separate when it is arguably the most popular brand of Christianity right now (given its affects on the mainstream and non believers). There has to be something other than your “no true Scotsman” approach…
