Infiltrating a Far-Right, Christian Nationalist, Megachurch Conference (3 posts long)

You covered a far right church, what does a far left church look like?
Maybe one that preached things like
"And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Yeah, probably doing socialist things like feeding the hungry, getting them clothes and housing. And regardless of race and country of origin. Terrible.
You typed socialist wrong. What your describing is social. Not socialist.

Like this social program in right wing Texas.

If you read the definition from Wikipedia below, I think that you will find that @F1fan's statement is entirely in accordance with socialist principles. The fact that others may attempt to implement such policies does not change this.

Left-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy as a whole or certain social hierarchies.Left-wing politics typically involve a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished

Background

This week I attended two days of the Dream/TPUSA Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. Part study, part magic, part knowing your enemy, I wanted to get inside and see this type of event for myself. I removed my necklace, covered my tattoos, and assimilated the best I could, trying not to betray my biases while also trying to give the most charitable representation possible. This latter objective will be… difficult, to say the least.

I just had to get this typed and out of my system. Will make it a podcast episode as well.
I does seem like you found what you were looking for.

He just wants to know how this person would phrase his coverage of a far Leftist church. If we could see that, it would show whether or not his analysis of either one is biased toward finding fault one way or the other.
Does going to pride festival count? Seems inverse of a Christian nationalist convention.

How far left did you want to go?
UU, liberal Quaker, some of the queer christian denominations, I mean there's plenty in the field of the "Christian left".

Street missions might be a good place to find some more radical left. Boys and girls clubs, feeding the hungry, invisible helpers dominate the furthest left of christian.
