This new wave of deconstruction is not, as many religious leaders have suggested, something born of evil that must be denounced. The work of deconstruction is often born of the Spirit, a movement of God attempting to bring the church back to Jesus. #invisiblejesus

“But Frog,” said Toad, “if I pick up my pants and jacket right now, then I will not have to pick them up tomorrow, will I?”
“No,” said Frog, “You will not have to.”
Toad picked up his clothes. He put them in the closet.

One type of deconstruction actually involves using scriptures to deconstruct unhealthy ideas and practices. Christ himself did this by deconstructing the Pharisees interpretation of scripture. “You have heard it said but I say…” using Scripture to challenge things. Healthy. 🧵

Rioters upset with election results is not new to Taiwan: in 2004, KMT presidential candidate Lien Chan refused to concede, called the election a fraud, and demanded a recount.
Rioters set fire on the streets and rammed down the gates to Kaohsiung's courthouse. #capitol

I am sincerely asking scholars of Reconstruction to write op-eds/blogs that contextualize this moment and look to get them published, and make them accessible for students in an Intro course. I will assign your work.
