We are being called anew and there is resistance even in church congregations. Some of us will celebrate Ascension this Sunday. (Luke 24). This leads to next Sunday and Pentecost (Acts 2). And people who need people supply are still fighting to have Presbyterian ministers for Presbyterian pulpits. There is a large refusal to embrace the new creation of God that is happening in that we are living literally in the time of Acts. The radicalness of Jesus is changes cultural practices (Acts 10) changes spiritual practices (Acts 15) and levels power structures so all hear the gospel (Acts 8 and 16). Can you imagine ELCA preachers in UCC pulpits. Here in Canada that is exactly what I and others are doing equivalently. This is going to be a wild ride.
I have been feeling the truth of what you say in this post. Our system needs to destroy itself and this is happening. The day I realized that the current administration is the inevitable outcome of much (tho not all) of our value system was a dark one indeed but light has been creeping in. Thank you for spreading this word.
