From Hamilton to subversive justice
This article originally appeared at Baptist News Global on June 27, 2025.
When Baptist News Global Executive Director Mark Wingfield asked me five years ago if he could publish my piece comparing King George in Hamilton to Calvinism’s God, I had no idea the opportunities his invitation would bring me.
One of my favorite opportunities has been attending the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly for the past three years. It’s been fun to hang out with fellow BNG writers and readers in person. But our fellowship together has been more than simple opportunities to have fun. The time we’ve spent together has been subversive.
In her opening prayer for the breakfast BNG cohosted with the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists, Mallory Challis said: “Fellowship is subversive. It calls us to love and love calls us to action, and action makes the way for justice.”
