Sarah Moon — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 17:02:48 +0000

I have seen this anti-abortion meme make the rounds on Facebook one too many times over the past several years. I’m going to share some THOUGHTS on it, so buckle up. First, the meme: Checkmate, feminists, amirite? First of all: The meme is based on a straw-man argument, although, to be fair, one that pro-choice […]

I had the honor to preach my first sermon at Summit on 16th UMC last night for their Ash Wednesday service. It felt right, natural, and good. I am so thankful for all the support people have shown me on this adventure. I even got to do the Imposition of the Ashes, which is something […]

There are gods on thrones this week. The gods of White Supremacist Capitalist CisHeterosexist Patriarchy are sitting pretty, on their thrones of gold. These idols, who think they are omnipotent: “Hey, when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” The U.S.A. […]

“Good Christian Sex:” A Book Review

Sarah Moon — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 15:53:23 +0000

When I got an email asking me to read and review Bromleigh McCleneghan’s Good Christian Sex, I was skeptical. As long-time readers of this blog know, I have read a lot of Christian books about sex. I have not, however, read a lot of good Christian books about sex. Even books herald as alternatives to Joshua Harris and […]

[Content Note: Slavery Apologism, Anti-LGBT Slurs and Theology, Douglas Wilson] N.T. Wright and Douglas Wilson have the same exact theology when it comes to LGBTQ people. N.T.

Content Note: Descriptions of Rape and Sexual Assault, with some detail Famous evangelicals across the United States are coming up with all sorts of interesting excuses for abandoning their self-proclaimed morals in order to support a man like Donald Trump.

Human Dignity and Christian Responses To “Game of Thrones”

Sarah Moon — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:46:36 +0000

I recently watched an interesting conversation unfold over Facebook about this article by Noah Filipiak, entitled “If You Are Watching Game of Thrones, You Are Watching Porn.” I’m not interested here in defending the merits of Game of Thrones. Other writers have critiqued the show (I like Samantha Field’s critique which can be found here), and […]

Liberating Liturgies: A Hymn for Queer Creation

Sarah Moon — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 21:33:44 +0000

I realized recently that the last blog post I wrote was in July of 2015. I guess it’s been awhile, and for good reason, since I started seminary last August, and have therefore been extremely busy. I would like to get back to work on this blog, because there is so much that I am […]

Why I Don’t Trust Pro-Life Feminists

Sarah Moon — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 02:36:29 +0000

She cannot be anti-abortion and an advocate of feminism.” –bell hooks, Feminism Is For Everybody When I saw Christianity Today published an article recently entitled […]
