Original spin: Damian Entwistle says patriarchy must be resisted

‘This is not happenstance. This is sponsored.’

by Damian Entwistle 3rd January 2025

The doctrine of original sin is commonly held in mainstream Christianity. And I think Friends too can recognise that humans do not always exercise their free will in ways that build one another up, or honour that dignity to which we are called as ‘children of God’. I would like us to consider a new way of looking at all this, and propose an idea of what original sin might actually be: patriarchy.
