Thank you for explaining historical appropriation. I gew up in a tradition that revered John Newton- Amazing Grace was a favorite for my congregation. Thank you for reminding me that it’s the moving from contemplation to action that works for justice.
Thank you for this. I had never considered the concept of historical appropriation. I can see how that can be a problem in so many contexts. Your writings continue to inform my own thinking and work.

Appreciate you reading with an open mind, JoEllyn!
I had never thought of this! I recognize this tendency in myself. I will work to examine my own reasonings and my stories.
We're all learning and growing. Thanks for reading!
I got your book yesterday Dr Tisby, looking forward to starting it!
Thanks for supporting, Colette. If you're so inclined, leaving a review online really helps!
