Truth is one of the casualties of authoritarianism, as fascist leaders rewrite the past, redefine words, disparage experts, and wield alternative facts in order to hold power in the present and future. Jesus calls us to truth-telling and truth-living. We explore the political relationships among elites: corporate, political, religious. We spotlight elite church leaders’ relationship with elite political leaders throughout U.S. history. We especially look at how Christian leaders have promoted hierarchy and innocence to defend structures of power. Then, like Ephesians and Colossians, we call for truth-living — starting with Jesus’ vision for husband and wife, and his larger vision for men and women in the church. This is essential for accountability and healthier relationships in the body of Christ.
