Recommendable Essay:
"When Love Thy Neighbor Is a Cry of Resistance" by Rebecca Solnit.

This is not so much political commentary, but rather a spiritual and philosophical approach to the topic.

A quote from it:
"At the very heart of almost all our crises is a conflict between two worldviews, the worldview in which everything is connected and the world of isolated individualism... I call the latter the ideology of isolation."

It was such a pleasure to workshop the Sentientism worldview with the new class of trainee Religious Education teachers at University College London last week. Glad these young teachers will be helping thousands of kids to understand the worldviews of others and to shape their own 🤩

Nice piece from our friend Alicia #Colson, #archaeologist, researcher and writer with peoples of the #Boreal forest, on extractivist and #Indigenous #worldviews

'The Cree, the Indigenous people who live in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, consider the Ring of Fire region, and the larger geographical region in which it exists as 'home'. They are stewards for the region's remaining biodiversity. Their spiritual, economic, social and cultural way of life is grounded in this region of the world. They practice animism, a contrasting worldview to that held by many of those people in the country's southern cities (and the mining companies), and have the expertise to adapt, mitigate, reduce climate and disaster risks as they have done for millennia. They call these peatlands ‘Yehewin Aski’, or “the Breathing Lands,” as they are the lungs of Mother Earth.'

Religious Education teachers might be the most important people 🤩

They're helping kids to explore, understand and examine worldviews and to shape their own.

I've been lucky to present to hundreds of them about the #Sentientism worldview in recent months at conferences and network events. Here's a recent recording.

John Newton wrote, “Amazing Grace” and here condemns the slave trade. He compares kindnapping a person from a street in London vs. a trail in Africa. The slave trade creates a market for this oppression and robbery.

Are there incentives for oppression and robbery today? I had a Reformed pastor in a bible study tell me that Christians should not be talking about “oppression”.

How can you help oppression and robbery to fail?
