“I believe we’re dealing with something that I’m starting to call ‘Theological Fragility,’ which is a second cousin to ‘White Fragility.’ And what that means is: if you are so used to holding the majority opinion that you’ve confused your opinion with God’s, then any difference is not diversity, it’s threat. And so, just as we’ve had white fragility described to us as those people who are so used to having unexamined white privilege that inclusion feels like threat — as opposed to blessing — I think we’re doing the same thing with theology.” ~ Susan Russell
