| | Prof. Carl R. Trueman writes about the concept of a "deathwork," which is a term that refers to the act of using sacred symbols of a previous era to subvert and destroy their original significance and purpose. Using the example of the rainbow, a promise from God now used as a symbol in LGBTQ activism, Trueman writes, "[I]t is quite another thing for Christians, especially priests and ministers, to use the rainbow as a means of acknowledging the LGBTQ movement — or to express any level of solidarity with it, especially in a religious context. Such actions are deathworks, the willing subversion of the sacred in the service of the profane." |
