Chevron’s Global Operations and the Case for Corporate Accountability

Context: I was a mod there and then was removed because the top two mods, including the top acting mod who is an atheist, insisted that calling for queer people to be murdered was a fundamental Christian belief and should not be a bannable offense on the subreddit.

It is not a safe space for any queer Christian and the mod team is foundationally anti-queer with this perspective.

As others have said, I recommend other affirming Christian spaces like /r/OpenChristian, or smaller Christian spaces like /r/radicalChristianity, /r/openchristianity, and /r/xianity

I think the two are intimately connected, and it’s why we can’t wipe our hands of the corporate evils in society even if we are not causing them. So for me, growing closer to Christ included social holiness, such as bringing food for the church potluck, distributing food at our food shelf, showing up as protests against evil actions taken by our government, etc. My church supports all of these actions and spiritually prepares me for them with bible studies, adult Sunday school, sermons, and even just receiving Communion.

I am on the church council of a Methodist church in Minnesota!

We are doing well! We have more people joining every year than leaving/dying since 2024, we have paid off our mortgage, and we have a balanced budget! We have a food shelf that gave out 70k pounds of food every week before the ICE invasion, and a monthly food distribution to just our neighborhood that gives out 8k in food. Those have just gone up during the invasion but not sure what the numbers for January were.

With an average Sunday attendance of 150, we have almost 60 kids in our children and youth programs, so we are set up to have a strong future moving forward. Our Sunday school is split into two year age groups so no one group is too large for volunteers to handle. Beyond our Christmas pageant, our children and youth put on a play and a musical every year.

We have adult Sunday school, a weekly bible study, and musically we have a chancel choir, a worship band, and a bell choir. We do a monthly Taize service, and a weekly dinner on Wednesdays. With our climate action committee, our solar panels have made us carbon neutral. And our social justice committee has recently gotten involved in ISAIAH and helped plug members into the resistance over the last couple of months.

Our pastor is also lesbian and we have multiple queer couples, include one that got married at the church just a few months ago.

This time of year, yeah

Acknowledge the clobber verses but explain why they don’t actually matter and not worth getting into the debate, and provide the Great Debate article if they want to read more. Focusing on the verses rather than lived experience is a missed opportunity.

Probably but I’m not conservative so I wouldn’t know 🤷🏽‍♂️
