As President Trump puts all the government's diversity staff, Mark takes a look at Jesus' compassion for the 'outsider' the 'other' and even the official enemy of his people.

MAGA Christianity is Christofascism. it has nothing whatsoever to do with the teachings of Jesus.

'By their fruits you shall know them,' Matthew 7:16. Today Maggy's homily is about a lady called Rebecca who isn't Christian; yet she is a Patchwork Saint who works harder than anyone else in Maggy's town to help people in need. You can tell the World you are Christian all you like, but what are you actually doing to help?

We all need to become Jimmy Carters or Rebeccas rather than being part of the majority who don't - or won't - engage in the world's healing but who prefer to criticise those who do.

The MAGA movement in America are a perfect example of everything that is wrong in Christianity - and which has been wrong for more than 1500 years. Jesus always interpreted law through love - with love as the winner every time. He taught that the outsider, the unbeliever, the literal enemy, the lost and the poor were closer to understanding the mystery of the nature of the Divine than any of the religious law-makers of his time.

Today, Mark starts unpacking right wing Christianity as seriously fake news.

Quite rightly, these are challenging times to say you are a Christian. Christianity has been controlled and manipulated for nearly two thousand years, in order to vaunt superiority, despise, even destroy, those who don't hold the same beliefs.

We may not have any answers but we will not be avoiding the difficult questions nor scapegoating nor using cheap proof texts nor pontificating. You can expect this to be authentic, messy and even a little bit fucked up at times. Welcome to the journey.
