Challenging blog post from @RichardJMurphy

"The Christian message at Christmas is one of radical economic reform. Why doesn't the Church say that? Is it just too embedded with the proud and the mighty it's meant to be pulling down?"

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@davewalker This is where I am in my journey right now. I'm not in the UK, so the specifics are different, but in general I think the Church has been too entwined with imperial/colonial/capitalist power, for a long, long time.

I'm clergy. I love the church. But sometimes I want to overturn some tables.

@nicedragon @davewalker Me too. Well, not clergy. Love the church, like His people, but struggle with the organization. And I suffer from the same temptation. *looks sheepish*
