A Sin against Humanity and God
[Figure: see text] At its annual meeting in June 2024, the members of the Canadian Theological Society passed a motion of solidarity with Palestinians and student protesters in encampments at universities around the globe. 1 The statement lamented the loss of over 40,000 lives in Palestine (at time of writing), including 15,000 children; condemned the scholasticide in Gaza; and articulated our condolences and solidarity with those students and fa…
God Keep Our Land? Unsettling Christian Theology
Jamaican novelist and critic Sylvia Wynter famously wrote that “the central mechanism at work” in processes of colonization “was and is that of representation.” Canadian theology is becoming ever more responsive to Wynter’s call as it thinks through the manner in which the mechanism of theological representation supported and continues to support colonization. This is the challenge that I, too, wish to take up, and I will do so through thinking a…

In particular, Matthew Weiner's exploration of memory and time draws on several Jewish theological themes that challenge linear and progressive notions of time's passing. The constellation of past, present, and future is most fully displayed in the hero of Mad Men, Don Draper…
