Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In honour of Harold Wells' significant contributions to liberation and critical theology both in Canada and abroad, I offer a critical examination of the identity and mission of "sideline" Protestant denominations within the Canadian context. Although we share a common passion of Christ-inspired justice and social wellbeing, Wells and I differ in our appreciation of postmodern contributions to this peaceable kin-dom on earth. Within this article, I suggest that poststructural and postcolonial theory can help the church understand its own complicity in the marginalization and colonization of the very people it is intending to "help." I will begin with a portrait of the mission of the modem, mainstream Protestant church, followed by an examination of the effects of this mission. I will then offer a poststructural analysis of the church's mission based on questions of individual and communal identity. I wi11look at how these questions can transform the Church and suggest a vision for the postcolonial church in our Canadian context.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
