The massive bronze sculpture of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in uniform, astride his horse Traveller, stood in a downtown Charlottesville park for nearly a century. It was at the center of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, when Neo-Nazis and white supremacists tried to stop the city's plans to remove the statue. It came down to cheers in July of 2021. Dr. Jalane Schmidt has been part of the group of activists, scholars, and historians fighting not only to have the statue removed, but to doing something transformative and radical with it - melt it down. In this interview, she discusses the long legal battles to arrive at this moment, the ways armed Neo-Conferederates terrorized the public space surrounding the monument for years, and why melting it down was a moral risk worth taking.

Take up the hatchet; Hatchet man; Hatched-faced; Scalpel, not an ax
Anyone born this century has only ever really known a world with one major power or another at war, and our communities and country often feel uncivil and conflicted. We have more technology than ever to keep track of our many responsibilities, but it doesn't give us relief from the anxiety of it all. We are aching for peace, but as something deeper than just a quiet, comfortable feeling. There has to be a difference, in other words, between being at peace... and being numb. In this year's Advent series, pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve are seeking to "unsentimentalize" the major themes of this season that leads up to Christmas, which means explore what peace really is, and how it might move us to greater action in the world rather than less. In a conversation that ranges from ancient prophets to contemporary poets, and which mixes Star Trek references with Wendell Berry's environmental philosophy, we invite you to a deeper consideration of being people of restless peace.

Isaiah 2: 1-5
Jesus does carry forth Isaiah's vision of an era of peace—but on God's terms, not oursWednesday • 11/30/2022 •This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 119:1–24; Isaiah 2:1–11; 1 Thessalonians 2:13–20; Luke 20:19–26 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 11 (“The Third Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 60:1–3,11a,14c,18–19, BCP, p. 87); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 16 (“The Song of Zechariah,” Luke 1:68–79, BCP, p. 92)
Spears to pruning hooks. Conflict to peacefulness. Violence to brotherhood. It's not realistic. It's better than that—it's a promise from God.
We explore Isaiah 2
Sermon Passages and Notes: Swords into Plowshares- Isaiah 2:1-4 Isaiah 1:1- The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns[a] of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah. Isaiah 2:1-4 1 The vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 2 In the last days the mountain of the Lord's house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. All nations will stream to it, 3 and many peoples will come and say, “Come, let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about his ways so that we may walk in his paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 He will settle disputes among the nations and provide arbitration for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not take up the sword against nation, and they will never again train for war. Prophets struggle with verb tenses. "It was all happening inside of Mary, and she was so sure of it that she was singing about it ahead of time--not in the future tense but in the past, as if the promise had already come true. Prophets almost never get their verb tenses straight, because part of their gift is being able to see the world as God sees it--not divided into things that are already over and things that have not happened yet, but as an eternally unfolding mystery that surprises everyone..." –Barbara Brown Taylor (Singing Ahead of Time) Luke 1:46-55 Luke 2:29-30 • Prophets struggle with verb tenses. • Prophets desire to live-out life according to God's will for the world– in the present. Isaiah 2:1-4 Are we willing to imagine a world where this is true? 2022 US Defense Budget: $1,640,000,000,000 Take listening to the Spirit seriously. Tell our story faithfully. Open up yourself to the life of the story. We must learn to articulate a Christianity that is strange. “Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future; faith is having the courage to dance to it today." “Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future; faith is having the courage to dance to it today." -- Peter Kuzmic

This week BibleWorm reads Isaiah 36:1-3, 13-20; 37:1-7; and then 2:1-4 - a set of texts that calls us to sit with questions about the power of rhetoric to confuse, mislead, and exhaust us in times of fear and conflict. How can we preserve our energy for the proverbial moment of birth, when the stakes could not be higher? What would the world be like if political struggle and violence could be taken off the table – what could we turn our attention to instead?

In this episode, we'll tackle yet another area where so many evangelical Christians have adopted a power-over mindset: the way current partisan political discussions speak about guns. I want us thinking about this issue as kingdom citizens FIRST, Americans SECOND, and see what, if anything, the Bible has to say on the matter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unbinding-the-bible/support
My guest here today on DITD is Vincent Kay a lifelong resident of Connecticut. Vincent happens to be one of Connecticut's top garlic growers. So I contacted him to buy seed and come to find out he worked for Pacifica Network News as well as NPR and as News Director at WPKN radio in Bridgeport From 1996-98. Now after 38 years he operates the State's largest commercial beekeeping business and is the sole proprietor of Swords into Plowshares Honey, producing Connecticut's finest wildflower honey, and providing crop and orchard pollination services and in addition to all this grows a whole lot of garlic.
The U.S. has averaged over eleven mass shootings per week in 2022. At least 344 people have been killed and almost 1,400 wounded. Is this the kind of world we want to live in? What if I told you we get to create the world we want to live in? Last week we looked at imagination. This week we move to integration. The prophet Micah uses the image of beating swords into plowshares to evoke the process of transformation. Instruments of death are transformed into instruments of life. Today we talk about guns + hearts.

A rash of gun violence in the first half of 2021 has us wondering about the depiction of weapons in pop culture - particularly in Star Wars: The Bad Batch and Jason Statham’s Wrath of Man. How can we reconcile the prevalence of weaponry in our films and television with the weapon-less vision of Isaiah 2?

Outside the UN headquarters in New York City, stands a bronze sculpture of a man holding a hammer high in one hand, using it to beat a huge broadsword into the shape of a farming tool. The inscription reads: “We Shall Beat Swords Into Plowshares.” The UN says the sculpture symbolizes “man's desire to put an end to war and convert the means of destruction into creative tools for the benefit of all mankind.” Today's episode shows some examples from around the world of people converting weapons into life-enriching tools.
