Noah<p>Those of us who preach and teach and minister to each other need to focus on the word—on words—more explicitly, intentionally, and daringly as part of the practice of our trade. This is necessary and urgent activism: to resist "newspeak," to insist on precision and clar ity, to love the bald statement, the long sentence, the particular example, the extended definition, the specifics of story.</p><p>-Marilyn Chandler McEntyre</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Preaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Preaching</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Theology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christianity</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ministry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ministry</span></a></p>
