For Easter, @NickKristof asked @SereneJones from @UnionSeminary easy questions, like: "What happens when we die?" and "How do we reconcile an omnipotent, omniscient god with evil and suffering?" nyti.ms/2XyCgW1

The Resurrection story would’ve been entirely redacted without women.

An Easter thread about resurrection at our border:
“The faith so many migrants proclaim in God invites us to join and share in the promise of new life and refuge. It beckons us to believe that this ‘herrida abierta’ might be born anew into a place of healing and wholeness.” twitter.com/unionseminary/…

8. We enjoy incredible abundance: We have more than enough to share with siblings who wait at our border; children we've locked in detention; families we've needlessly shattered.
But we must dare to believe in resurrection, and do the hard work of breathing new life into being.

7. Just as it indicts our violent immigration policies, the faith so many migrants proclaim in God invites us to join and share in the promise of new life and refuge. It beckons us to believe that this "herrida abierta" might be born anew into a place of healing and wholeness.

6. Yet, against this trauma, migrants choose the promise of new life. Families believe so fervently that they are willing to walk thousands of miles in its pursuit, endure unjust and unconscionable delays at our ports of entry, suffer abuses no one should experience.

5. But, more than anything, we witness resurrection in migrants' own courageous faith. The circumstances thousands flee in leaving their homes are dire—crucifying realities that might just as easily spur inaction and despair.

4. Easter's abundant love is proclaimed by every person who speaks out against structures and systems of death, daring to dream of a moral and just immigration system; in reporters who call attention to federal abuses, in the cries of protesters in our streets.

3. We witness resurrection in groups like @NewSanctuaryNYC, who help migrants fight for legal status and @NeighborsLink, who work tirelessly to help migrants stitch themselves into the fabric of our communities.

2. The risen Christ lives and loves abundantly at places like @AlOtroLado_Org, @CCharitiesRGV, and @AHouseElPaso—where asylum seekers find safety, refuge and welcome. God is present in the people who have dedicated their lives to tending our nation's border wound.

1. On Good Friday, we named ways Christ is crucified at the U.S./Mexico border, how a place that should give refuge brings degradation and death.
But, just as crucifixion is only half the story, resurrection is found at the border as well. #HappyEaster

Happy Easter!
You can believe in resurrection without believing in a bodily resurrection: Faith is more than adherence to rigid dogma.
The truth about our lives—about our world—is God’s love and grace will always have the final word. Rejoice!

“Laquan McDonald, Jakelin Maquín and Ashanti Carmon were victimized by crucifying systems, structures and cultures of neglect, poverty, and transphobia. The resurrection of Jesus is God’s definitive response to such crucifying realities.” - @DeanKBD

My conversation for Easter with Rev. @SereneJones, who respectfully argues that the virgin birth is silly, hell is nonsense, and that what matters is love. She believes that we're in the midst of a new Reformation: nyti.ms/2UOW6iT I think you'll find it interesting.

We who worship the resurrected Jesus would do well to pay attention to who is being called a criminal in our common life. B/c the Gospel story is clear: Jesus was numbered with the transgressors. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Amen.
“At the heart of faith is mystery. God is beyond our knowing, not a being or an essence or an object. But I don’t worship an all-powerful, all-controlling omnipotent, omniscient being. That is a fabrication.” - @SereneJones in tomorrow’s @nytimes.

“The pervasive idea of an abusive God-father who sends his own kid to the cross so God could forgive people is nuts...the cross is an enactment of our human hatred. But what happens on Easter is the triumph of love in the midst of suffering.”- @SereneJones

I had a wonderful time talking about Easter with @NickKristof, how God “is vulnerable and is connected to the world in profound ways that don’t involve manipulating the world but constantly inviting us into love, justice, mercy.”
