The Patriarchy is a Curse
from The Heavenly Banquet Hosted by The Heavenly Banquet
Charlotte Elia offers a reflection on Genesis 3. "We talk often about being on the 'right side of history,' but we Christians should probably talk more about whether we’re on the right side of the curse, whether we might be advocating for the curse and propping up Satan’s code rather than Jesus’. That’s no good place to be. The patriarchy, gender norms, including transphobia and homophobia- anguish around reproductive health, inequality in the workplace and in the home, all of the mess around Complementarianism, anything outside of ourselves that seeks to divide or define us? That’s all the curse. That’s not God’s intention. Those are bounds Jesus seeks to break and bounds he’s invited us to break with him, and every act for justice, every small word or large movement that opposes those curses is a blessing. Anything that opposes the curse is a blessing. Anything that opposes the patriarchy is a blessing. May you be blessed and be a blessing. Let’s bless this mess until kingdom come."
