[Vision2020] on slavery and festivals

[keely emerinemix]

I will be attending a Christian feminist conference in Denver this weekend and so will miss much of Credenda/Agenda's Trinity Fest.  But I did want to make my point clear, and so I've selected a new "signature" for my emails, one I offer to the paleo-Confederates, reconstructionists, Southrens, League of the South members, slavery apologists and their clueless followers who will flood the streets of Moscow over the next few days.  Please see below, keeping in mind Wilson, et al's, contention that slavery was beneficial to slaves and a harmonious example of Christian witness and conduct.(Any chance that The Autobiography of Frederick Douglass will show up on Logos', NSA's, or C/A's recommended reading lists?  I'm thinking that it won't.  It would make the blather of Wilson's and Wilkins' work on the "true nature" of slavery in the antebellum south look like even more foolish than it already does).So, party on, Kirkers.  Once you learn to tell the truth, I think you'll find a lot less reason to celebrate and a lot more reason to reflect, repent, and renounce.keely"Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to that enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall me.  For of all slaveholders whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst.  I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others.  It was my unhappy lot not only to belong to a religious slaveholder, but to live in a community of such religionists."  Frederick Douglass, abolitionist, feminist, and former slave
