Instead of focusing on personal freedoms only, emancipation directs our attention to a systemic level of freedom. With the exception of a very few who are fully emancipated, we each live inside our own smaller security systems of culture, era, political opinion, and even some quiet, subtle agreements of which we may not even be aware.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political and economic liberties such as free speech, free markets, and the freedom to be secure and defend ourselves can only offer us as much freedom as we ourselves have earned from the inside. <strong>If we haven\u2019t achieved the inner freedom to love, we are totally dependent on outer systems which, paradoxically, can never fully deliver the very freedoms they promise<\/strong>. Our inability to recognize this has made our so-called freedoms very selective, class-based, often dishonest, and open to bias.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, are we really free to imagine that there could be better alternatives to our free-market system? We\u2019re likely to be called dangerous or un-American if we dare broach the topic. Does our freedom to protect ourselves with gun rights and limitless military spending give us the right and freedom to use the vast majority of the economic resources of our country for our protection? Even if it means not providing food, healthcare, or education for the same people we say we are securing?\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we place all our identity in our one country, security system, religion, or ethnic group, we are unable to imagine another way of thinking. <strong>Only citizenship in a much larger \u201cRealm of God\u201d can emancipate us from the confinement of certain well-hidden, yet agreed-upon, boxes we have labeled \u201cfreedom.\u201d <\/strong>In fact, because these are foundational cultural agreements, we hardly even recognize them as boxes.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such boxes are good, helpful, and even necessary sometimes, but my job, and the job of Christian wisdom, is to remind us that \u201cWe are fellow citizens with the saints and part of God\u2019s household\u201d (Ephesians 2:19). <strong>We have been called to live in the biggest box of all, while still working and living&nbsp;<em>practically<\/em>&nbsp;inside the smaller boxes of society.<\/strong> That is a necessarily creative and difficult tension, yet it is really the only way we can enjoy all levels of freedom. \u201cIn the world, but not of the world\u201d was the historic phrase commonly used by many Christians<em>, <strong>whereas today most of us tend to be in the system, of the system, and for the system\u2014without even realizing it!<\/strong><\/em>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s <strong>use the word emancipation to describe a deeper, bigger, and scarier level of freedom: inner, outer, personal, economic, structural, and spiritual. Surely this is the task of our entire lifetime.\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Newsroom - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore...(Restricted language)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wTjMqda19wk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/app-link\/post?publication_id=47400&amp;post_id=167451052&amp;utm_source=post-email-title&amp;utm_campaign=email-post-title&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=2dkj2&amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozOTkyMzY2LCJwb3N0X2lkIjoxNjc0NTEwNTIsImlhdCI6MTc1MTU2NDU5OSwiZXhwIjoxNzU0MTU2NTk5LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNDc0MDAiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.fVe6tKu0_TBlY24cMfuvxlDlS8Y-gJpTahOCD-df0-A\">Homeland Ambiguity<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The question of faith and citizenship never go away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/@dianabutlerbass\">DIANA BUTLER BASS<\/a>.

Because it isn\u2019t exclusive to a single country. It is a fundamental tension in Christianity, expressed differently in different nations through the centuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that the poem below from Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, \u201cDear America,\u201d best \u201cgets\u201d my sense of homeland these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Homeland security.&nbsp;<\/strong>Until very recently, those words were not about politics, they were about faith. In the phrase, I inwardly heard the longing echoes of \u201cLand of Rest,\u201d a traditional American folk hymn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jerusalem, my happy home,<br>When shall I come to thee?<br>When shall my sorrows have an end?&nbsp;<br>Thy joys when shall I see?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Christian, I trust that I have a homeland, one that is secure in God\u2019s care. But that homeland is not a political nation. Theologically, I am a sojourner, an alien citizen of the United States; by virtue of my baptism in Christian faith, my primary citizenship is in God\u2019s city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout church history, Christians in many nations have tried to associate their geography with God\u2019s holy city (for example, the Byzantine Empire, the medieval Holy Roman Empire, or the realm of Russian tsars), but such biblical territorial claims have always resulted in some tragic corruption of Christianity. The homeland of Jesus\u2019 followers is God\u2019s city, a non-geographical city embodied in the way of life of its people in the present \u2014 and a city whose full revelation awaits some future time. The city is, as much of Christian theology has affirmed, \u201calready and not yet.\u201d Today, some people identify the biblical homeland as the state of Israel or the United States of America. But neither can truly claim that title. The homeland of God\u2019s faithful remains a promise, both a way of life and a place of rest for which God\u2019s people still long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do hope for a land of rest, as described in the traditional American hymn, a peaceful homeland. This is a holy hope, the same hope expressed by biblical patriarchs and prophets. The Scriptures and Christian tradition teach that <strong>the hope for a homeland is theologically fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ<\/strong>. And that one day the long awaited city will be more clearly manifest in creation. In the meanwhile, however, God\u2019s people are promised neither an earthly homeland nor security. I am not convinced that a government department can deliver either \u2014 when God\u2019s people have been waiting since the time of Abraham for both. <strong>To seek homeland security is, at best, a misguided quest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Testament writers seem ambivalent<\/strong>&nbsp;about the whole idea of a homeland. To describe it, which they rarely did, they used the Greek term,&nbsp;<em>patris,&nbsp;<\/em>the root for the English word&nbsp;<em>patriotic,&nbsp;<\/em>which refers to one\u2019s fatherland or one\u2019s own native place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant homeland story in the Gospels appears in Luke 4:18, where Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth and preaches: \u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.\u201d His fellow townspeople rejected his claim, leading Jesus to conclude, \u201cNo prophet is accepted in the prophet\u2019s hometown\u201d (Luke 4:24). This criticism did not go over well with his neighbors. They responded by driving him out of town and trying to hurl him off a cliff. For Jesus, his earthly homeland was a dangerous place for someone choosing to do God\u2019s work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, in Hebrews 11:13\u201316, the writer describes those living the life of faith as people who \u201cwere strangers and foreigners on the earth,\u201d men and women who were <strong>\u201cseeking a homeland . . . a better country, a heavenly one.\u201d Or according to Philippians 3:20, \u201cour commonwealth is in heaven.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some Christians have used these ideas to justify antiworldliness or withdrawal from society, the fundamental truth remains:&nbsp;<em>the homeland of God\u2019s people is not a theocratic earthly nation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, as was the case for medieval Catholics and nineteenth-century Protestants, Christians have rejected the otherworldly orientation of God\u2019s realm by making the kingdom of God coterminous with human society. In both cases, the body politic \u2014 or the hoped-for body politic \u2014 is identified as God\u2019s political order. Medieval popes believed they ruled over the earth in Christ\u2019s stead. Earnest American Protestants thought they were bringing God\u2019s city to earth through prayer and democratic politics. Throughout history, identifying one\u2019s homeland as God\u2019s formed the basis for Christendom, the earthly reign of the church. The <strong>confusion started with the Emperor Constantine in 313 and, in Europe and America, continued well into our times. The most recent manifestation of the tendency is the political objective of some evangelical Protestants to reclaim, redeem, or retake America as a Christian nation.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, the United States proved uniquely poised to interpret itself as God\u2019s homeland, a kind of New World Israel, given to European Christians by God as a second chance at Eden. Our forebears busily refashioned Christian tradition to support their colonial project and justify American ideals of freedom, democracy, liberty, and capitalism. But there was a price to be paid for that accommodation. For most American Christians, <strong>pulling apart the interwoven threads of \u201cChristian\u201d and \u201cAmerican\u201d has proved difficult.<\/strong> Indeed, the relationship between faith and nation has been so confusing that, in the minds of many, despite the separation of church and state, America is a Christian nation. There may be no established national church, but God himself guides, blesses, and oversees the American experiment, \u201cthe last great hope of earth.\u201d In America, the government may not start or sponsor a church, but the nation itself is an embodiment of the will and plan of the biblical God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, as evangelical Protestants articulated a political theology of American Christian nationhood, some mainline Protestant theologians have begun to recover the idea of God\u2019s heavenly reign and reject the cozy worldliness that had been the hallmark of their denominations. In an ironic reversal, many mainline Protestants now tend toward <strong>Scripture\u2019s exile tradition, \u201cthat the church exists today as resident aliens, an adventurous colony in a society of unbelief<\/strong>\u201d (Stanley Hauerwas, Will Willimon). They have returned to the <strong>biblical idea of the church as a community of strangers and foreigners whose commonwealth is heaven.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That Christians are an exile people seems an apt\u2014and even providential\u2014reminder in light of so-called homeland security. The Christian&nbsp;<em>patris&nbsp;<\/em>is a distant realm, and our loyalty to any secular homeland is that of an exile community. We work, have children, raise families, care for the poor, work for the betterment of our communities, pay taxes. We try to figure out what Jesus meant when he said, \u201cRender to Caesar the things that are Caesar\u2019s and to God, the things that are God\u2019s\u201d (Mark 12:17). That is harder than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christians believe, like Jews, that as the Psalmist says, \u201cthe earth is the Lord\u2019s and all that is therein\u201d (Ps. 24:1). Thus at the heart of Christian citizenship is a dilemma: Christians submit to Caesar so long as Caesar\u2019s laws do not conflict with the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Christian patriotism is practicing a way of life based in the virtues of faith, hope, and love. We are citizens, only secondarily, of our earthly homelands. As Christians, we may or may not appreciate the ideals, politics, or policies of the country in which we reside. <strong>Patriotism is often a matter of lament, prophetic challenge, and protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means, of course, that there are <strong>no easy answers<\/strong> when it comes to issues of faithful citizenship. Christians must consider every political issue theologically in light of the tradition, authority, practice, and wisdom of the faith community, with a keen sense of their primary status as alien citizens. Faith is a kind of risk culture, lending itself to what theologian Barry Harvey calls \u201choly insecurity,\u201d as the citizens of God\u2019s city \u201cmust always struggle to detect the delicate counterpoint of the Spirit\u201d to mediate between engaging the world and challenging it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(adapted from&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/65fd77b2-aac6-41c2-af9f-8b63c10a26d4?j=eyJ1IjoiMmRrajIifQ.ND0qR5RKsmVnltuWgIlyr3BY7uwq2Kt9ZzX29UJK4cg\">Broken We Kneel: Reflections on Faith and Citizenship<\/a><\/em>, pp. 99-105)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/app-link\/post?publication_id=47400&amp;post_id=167451052&amp;utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;comments=true&amp;token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozOTkyMzY2LCJwb3N0X2lkIjoxNjc0NTEwNTIsImlhdCI6MTc1MTU2NDU5OSwiZXhwIjoxNzU0MTU2NTk5LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNDc0MDAiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.fVe6tKu0_TBlY24cMfuvxlDlS8Y-gJpTahOCD-df0-A&amp;r=2dkj2&amp;utm_campaign=email-half-magic-comments&amp;action=post-comment\">Leave a comment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSPIRATION<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,<br>With conquering limbs astride from land to land;<br>Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand<br>A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame<br>Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name<br>Mother of Exiles.
