Opinion: Do Christianity and Christ go hand in hand?
Joshua Henry Narcisse
The Rev. Joshua Henry Narcisse is director of spiritual care at Church Health and serves as parish associate at Idlewild Presbyterian Church. He is co-host of “The Mystic”, a monthly discussion forum hosted at Crosstown Concourse, and he lives in Downtown Memphis.
“When Christians support “snatching persons off street corners, separating families, trafficking in racist dog-whistles and preaching a message of us vs. them in a zero sum game, I struggle to see Christ in that.”
