Ekklesia in the Midst of Public Outrage Today

What stood out for me was the paragraph beginning with "Confessing (in contrast to “professing”) faith in Christ involves discerning what Luther referred to as that "little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking" which, of course, also calls to the reader's mind Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Confessing Church he belonged to. 

Your proposal and description of the ekklesia of "subversive remembering" is intriguing as well.  You write "The crisis (we face today) is not one of faith versus unfaith but of competing “faiths,” that is of unquestioned idols or absolute ideologies (economic, political, religious) that have been encapsulated in slogans to be believed, with blind faith, even in the face of contradictory evidence.".  This is certainly an observation I do not hear in everyday conversations around this topic and is worth exploring in greater detail.
