Calls to “keep politics out of the pulpit” almost always come from those whose power and wealth would be the most threatened by the liberative demands of the Cross on behalf of the poor and the oppressed.

Crass partisanship has no place. But speaking truth to power, uplifting the marginalized, and declaring the Kingdom of God and the Lordship of the Crucified God are the beating heart of our call on this earth.
I'm in a small group with some people from a different church and apparently there was almost a fist fight Sunday when the pastor, using lectionary texts that were very explicitly about God upending power structures, got "too political" with ideas like racism is bad.
