Radical Love and Bravery: Embracing All Denominational Faith.
To be All denominational is to live—daily, defiantly—at the crossroads of history, hope, and human dignity. In a world splintered by religious boundaries and haunted by the violent echoes of exclusion, I choose a path that demands radical love and radical bravery. All denominationalism is not a retreat from belief, but a bold stride into the future—a future where what is real in every faith is honored, where no truth is denied, and where the sanctity of every human experience is cherished. As I walk this road, I do so in the spirit of those who have struggled for liberation, who have spoken truth to power, and who have risked everything so that all might be free.
The Roots of Division out of style and the Need for a New Movement is upon us.
Religion has always been a double-edged sword. It can be weaponized to dominate, to segregate, to justify violence and oppression. But it can also be the soil from which love and justice spring. Too often, denominationalism—rigid, exclusive, sometimes arrogant—has aligned itself with systems that breed hierarchy and maintain the status quo. The alternative, non denominationalism, often seeks to erase difference in the name of unity, but in doing so, it can also erase the beauty, the struggle, and the lived realities of diverse communities.
All denominationalism is different. It is not about erasure, but about radical inclusion. It is about recognizing that the truths found in Black churches, in masjids, in synagogues, in temples, and in the sacred groves of the world, are all real. These truths have power, and they deserve respect. To be All denominational is to refuse the colonial logic that says only one path is valid, and instead to say: all who seek justice, all who love mercy, all who walk humbly are my kin.
The Radical Love of All Denominationalism is necessary.
Radical love is not meek or polite. It is fierce. It is the love that compelled freedom fighters to risk their lives. It is the love that refuses to let the neighbor go hungry, the stranger go unseen, or the oppressed go unheard. All denominationalism is built on radical love because it recognizes that every tradition, every practice, every cry for liberation carries a piece of the divine.
To practice All denominational faith is to embody this love in the face of misunderstanding and hostility. It takes courage to say, “I honor your way, even if it is not my way.” It takes bravery to refuse the easy comfort of sameness, and instead to embrace the difficult beauty of difference. It is to refuse the seduction of supremacy, in all its forms, and to stand in solidarity with those who have been pushed to the margins.
Bravery in the Face of Tradition and Power is needed.
There is nothing easy about being All denominational. It means confronting authority—sometimes in our own families, sometimes in our own communities, sometimes in ourselves. Tradition can be a fortress, and those who guard its gates do not always welcome change. But history has shown us that justice requires disruption. Those who challenged Jim Crow, those who fought for Black liberation, those who demanded the dignity of the poor and the oppressed—they did not wait for permission. They loved too much to let injustice stand.
To be All denominational in today’s world is to stand against the currents that divide and diminish us. It is to walk into spaces where your very presence is a question, a challenge, a demand for something better. It is to risk being misunderstood, mocked, or even rejected. But it is also to claim the power that comes from loving without limits, from believing that the divine is too vast to be contained in any one box.
Let talk about All Denominationalism: A Movement for the Future.
The movement into the future is not about abandoning the past, but about transforming it. All denominationalism does not ask us to forsake our roots, but to let them intertwine, to let them nourish a new community where every story matters. In this movement, there is space for the rituals of our ancestors, the questions of our children, and the dreams of those yet unborn.
I believe that All denominationalism is the only answer to the violence of exclusion and the poverty of narrowness. It is a radical project—a project that demands we listen deeply, love dangerously, and act with the courage of our convictions. It is a movement that asks us to see the image of the divine in every face, to honor every struggle, and to build a world where faith is not a weapon, but a bridge.
In Conclusion I say,
To be All denominational is to claim the future. It is to love with radical abandon, to stand bravely in the face of old divisions, and to refuse the lies of supremacy and exclusion. In this commitment, I find purpose; I find hope; I find liberation. The work is not easy, but it is necessary. As we move forward, let us do so together—rooted in justice, grounded in love, and brave enough to build the world we have always dreamed was possible.
