The Check-in: Evolving Evangelicalism, Deir Yassin, and William Shatner
This week we discuss recent polling that shows changes in the evangelical landscape in the U.S., including what a post-evangelical movement could mean. We look at Deir Yassin, the Palestinian experience of ongoing Nakba, and the importance of acknowledging and learning about the past. And we talk about Captain Kirk’s trip to space and whether it has anything to do with peacemaking.
We finish by asking you to take action! So much of peacemaking is about expanding our perspective. This can feel like a wishy-washy step, but it’s a critical one. If we see the world differently, we see ourselves differently. And the way we see ourselves and understand our identity is a main driver of our behavior.
What steps can you take this week to expand perspectives? Share with us on social media! Some ideas from our team:
- Watch Just Vision’s film My Neighborhood or share it with someone who hasn’t seen it yet (https://justvision.org/myneighbourhood)
- If you’re a member of a church or religious institution, ask your pastor or faith leader how they’re doing and how you can support them
- Subscribe to the Telos Newsletter for more news analysis and peacemaking resources
