It does! It's totally another instance of the church trying to make something accessible to more people, but losing the folks it was already accessible to and then people dividing down that line. It's maybe one of the most consistent push and pulls in the church!
What a timely, thoughtful and informative dive into many of the facets of Butker’s commencement speech. Thank you for choosing to take on this man’s words, there is a lot to dissect and while I am not an expert on any of it, you have peeled back the nuances in what he said, and added historical context behind how it all got to where it is today. So many take always for me, but especially, “true faith, after all, is about humility, compassion, and understanding- values conspicuously absent in Butker’s narrow sermon”.
Thanks so much, Sue! It took me a minute to feel like I landed somewhere fair on the subject cause it is nuanced and a continuation of earlier church stuff. Butker just brought it to national attention.
Thanks Shay. This is a great take. It harkens back to our other discussion about music preferences in worship. ❤️
