Followers of Christ should not be centrists. Christ proclaimed the radical upending of the power systems of this world as the Kingdom of God—what the world would be like if God reigned. The last will be first. Mary his mother understood this when she sang: “He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly.” You cannot truly follow a savior who liberates the oppressed, all the while defending the status quo that keeps them oppressed.
