Some in their zeal against Wokeism appear to have gone too far in the opposite direction. Thomas Guthrie of the Free Church of Scotland shows us a more excellent way:

Could you perhaps give your understanding of the term “wokism”? Is it simple almsgiving and care for the poor or is it a militant works-based gospel that negates the true gospel and causes enmity and division among the brethren, or is it something in between?

Susan, what I am referring to is the tendency to read modern Social Justice theories into scripture.
