Since 2016 the focus of many pastors, authors and justice workers has been the fight against a newly apparent racism, misogyny and fear-mongering in the United States. It seemed that for many the veneer of civility had been torn away and, for the better possibly, we were all exposed to one another. This inevitably led to a lot of division in our churches, in our families, our schools -- everywhere. Again, this was possibly a good thing. Throughout this era, I've had the honor to bear witness to a church whose hearts' were torn. Politically, morally, and economically many of our members found themselves on sides that they saw as opposite. Our calling was to encourage genuine healing that did not negate the work -- the real spiritual work -- of anti-racism that many people were being encouraged to assume by the Holy Spirit.
Seeing one another as enemies is easy.
At times, I admit I desperately wanted to do this. There are people who arguably "deserve" to be treated as enemies. People who try very hard to create walls and conflict wherever they go under the guise of righteousness. People who are legitimately dangerous because of their lifestyle of hate. The harder path is to find a way forward together, while desperately calling those who cause harm to come with us, even as we recognize how we participate in that same harm and seek to undo it. Even as we prudently protect ourselves.
We are called to unity, yet, there is a very real evil that is present in our world. The slaveholders of old had their own religion that was not righteous or reflective of anything that the Bible is actually about. There is truly a new heresy that has taken hold of some in the United States, and it is a destructive power in the world. Yet, as Rev. Dr. William J. Barber is fond of saying "we have to produce truth and love." That is our charge. That is our mandate. That is how we combat real evil.
So, the true Christian stands at a confluence of urgencies. As God described in the book of Amos, we are required to engage with and unmake the evil of this world where we find it. The new gods of false patriotism, division and fear of the "other" run in the same vein that led God's strong admonition of Israel's lack of care for the poor, and the profit they make from the vulnerable. We stand now in a time of God's prophecy to Amos coming true. The people of God wander from shore to shore looking for God's word but who cannot find or hear it. In the midst of that, we are responsible for bringing the Good News to the world, and bearing witness to the real power of God through Jesus Christ against the powerful and wealthy idolaters and heretics.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
