My friend & intellectual sparring partner @joellooper is launching a magazine worth the attention of Christians of all theological & political persuasions. The Common Politic will be a space for *actual* dialogue across differences... 1/ https://www.patreon.com/thecommonpolitic/posts">https://www.patreon.com/thecommon...

So much of what passes for "dialogue" w/in the church amounts to hectoring & bullying from the left or vituperative condemnation from the right. The Common Politic hopes to change that by curating an exchange of perspectives according to clear discourse norms. 2/

I& #39;ll be contributing often to TCP & plugging it because I believe in the project. And it& #39;s run by two of the most incisive & broad-minded people I know: Joel Looper, a theologian, and his brother Brian, a philosopher. You can read more about them here: 3/ https://www.patreon.com/thecommonpolitic/posts">https://www.patreon.com/thecommon...

Here comes the ask: this project will only be viable if they raise the funds to run the site & pay contributors. Their goal is to reach $500/mo on Patreon before they launch early next year. That& #39;s a measly goal for such a necessary project; I want to see them hit at least 1k. 4/

I encourage you to check out their project and consider donating: https://www.patreon.com/thecommonpolitic/posts
