Today we're excited to share an episode from the Latitude Adjustment Podcast looking at the role Christian Zionism plays in continuing persecution of Palestinians. Eric Maddox completed his graduate research in Conflict Transformation from Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the Occupied West Bank, collecting oral histories from the 1948 War. He is the founder and director of the Palestine Podcast Academy, and the host of Latitude Adjustment Podcast. He interviewed Rev. Dr. Don Wagner, a friend of Mondoweiss, and expert on Christian Zionism. From Latitude Adjustment's show notes: While there have been different strains of Christian Zionism dating back to the Sixteenth Century, the most politicized, powerful, and violent iteration of the movement has its roots in the contemporary Christian Evangelical Church. Modern Christian Zionists hold that the ethnic cleansing of roughly 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in historic Palestine in 1948 by Jewish Zionists was the fulfillment of a Biblical prophecy in which the so-called Holy Land must be resettled by the Jewish people in order to usher in the return of Jesus Christ as the messiah. Modern Christian Zionism is distinct from the modern form of political Zionism that arose amongst the European Jewish community in the late 19th Century. Don Wagner is a Christian theologian, a former minister, and author. He received a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary. He is also author of, "Glory to God in the Lowest: Journeys to an Unholy Land".

Abolition cannot happen without being intentional about creating a deep community. We often hear that our liberation is bound up in the liberation of our neighbor. But what exactly does that mean and how do we get there? In this episode, in conversation with Rev. Elle Dowd and Alonzo Waheed, we will wrestle with what it means to be in a deep community. How do we work at building community in ways that center accountability instead of perpetuating logics of punishment? How do we create community cultures that promote both self and collective care? How do we practice mutual aid as an act of solidarity (redistributing our resources within a community)? -- RESOURCES Baptized in Teargas, Rev.

The death penalty is a controversial topic, especially for Christians--people who see the reign of God as one of forgivenss, restorative justice, and mercy. How do we reconcile ending someone's life with the all-encompassing grace and love of Jesus Christ? Today's guest, Dr. Jenny McBride, talks us through those conflicting concepts.Jenny is Associate Dean and Associate Professor at McCormick Theological Seminary. She was the Board of Regents Endowed Chair in Ethics at Wartburg College in Iowa and was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Initiative in Religious Practices and Practical Theology at Emory University, where she served as program director for the Atlanta Theological Association's Certificate in Theological Studies at Metro State Prison for Women. Jenny's deep friendship with Kelly Gissendaner, Georgia's only female death-row inmate who was executed in September 2015, grew out of her experience as a professor in the certificate program. Jenny got to experience Kelly's deep and growing faith and walked with Kelly through the final moments of her life, reminding her that “Jesus is going to be with you.” Jenny's latest book, You Shall Not Condemn, tells Kelly's story through her own friendship with Jenny and other religious leaders and advocates.You Shall Not Condemn doesn't have a release date yet, but as soon as it does, we'll let you know on The Weight's social media.

In our Christian tradition sanctification is defined as the ongoing works of salvation are external and internal transformation. This episode explores the individual, interpersonal, institutional and cultural transformations that need to take place to realize an abolition world. In conversation with Gigi Khanyezi and Rev. Dr. Nikia Smith Roberts, we will wrestle with the following questions: What is carceral logic? What is its relationship to the Christian tradition, in particular around atonement theory. How have we been socialized by it, and how does it show up in our everyday lives within the institutions (schools, workplaces, prisons, churches) we inhabit? How do we begin to replace our reliance on carceral logics with more humanizing and restorative ways of being in a flourishing relationship with ourselves, others and institutions/systems? Specifically how does practicing abolition in our daily lives dismantle carceral logics? --- RESOURCES Stand Your Ground, Dr. Kelly Brown Douglass Prophetic Imagination, Willy J Jenkins (?)
