Rev. Marc Trimm and Bishop Greer honor two pioneering figures who refused to let the Church remain exclusive -- Rev. Elder Troy Perry, who founded Metropolitan Community Church in 1968 as a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ Christians, and Bishop William Brothers, who organized the Old Catholic Church in America in 1916 as a home for those the institutional Church had left behind.
Bishop Greer and Bishop Ben Williams make the direct doctrinal case that Christian nationalism is not Christianity -- tracing its roots from Constantine to the modern Religious Right and showing from Scripture that Jesus refused the political kingdom, the Church belongs to every nation, and no flag belongs on the altar.
When the world says one thing and the Church has said another, Bishop Greer, Rev. Marc Trimm, and Bishop Ben Williams go straight to the text to show that the Bible is more radical, more inclusive, and more demanding than anyone expected on women, LGBTQIA+ people, creation, poverty, war, and immigration.
