The Case of Owen and the Memorials | Doug Wilson

In a talk at the G3 conference last week, Owen Strachan attempted to take a bold stand, and it did not go well for him. He said, in a “here I stand” sort of way, that God’s love extended beyond white people. Whoa. This unobjectionable sentiment was rightly fisked by many of the wits of Twitter, in august Congress assembled, and together they all made merry.

And at just about the same time, an online ruckus exploded over some proposed memorials on ethnic issues that the CREC is considering this coming week at our Council. For an example, here is one response. The contention of some of the participants in this row was that the CREC was considering doing the same thing that Owen Strachan seemed to be doing—e.g. performative virtue signaling and kowtowing to the woke. Oh no, was the general sentiment about all that.

And hence it became necessary to fire up my computer. I would apologize, but you guys apparently asked for it. Because this controversy, like love, is a many-splendored thing, I am going to need to hit a number of different issues here.
