Many of us call ourselves ‘Weird Christians,’ albeit partly in jest.
What we have in common is that we see a return to old-school forms of worship as a way of escaping from the crisis of modernity and the liberal-capitalist faith in individualism.
Weird Christians reject as “overly accommodationist” those churches that have watered down the stranger and more supernatural elements of the faith, like miracles, and the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There are churches that no longer believe in miracles, or in the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We weird Christians also reject the fusion of ethno-nationalism, unfettered capitalism and politics that have come to define the modern, white evangelical movement.
