After Raphael Warrnock became a candidate in Georgia and I learned he was a minister, I started listening to some of his sermons. It was uplifting, and challenging to my ideas. I also listen to Rev. Dr. Jacqi Lewis of Middle Collegiate Church in New York. Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney’s blog and books.
I appreciate Dr. Hendrick’s including the context of the origins of the Christian faith including Jesus of Nazareth’s life during a time of oppression & poverty—including impact of trauma & poverty.
This is one of my favorites (of many) of Dr. Tisby's posts. My sharing this post with Christian friends seemed to garner the strongest response--including my being "racist" to emphasize my appreciation for the Black Church in the U.S. past & present & my passions to center non-white voices. I've learned that how my friends & family express themselves & what they ban/censor with me personally, seems to reflect across the nation within many Christian communities infused with/centering whiteness & white Christian nationalism.

Another great article. Keep on writing bro! 💪🏽
What a sermon clip!!!! I remember the first time when I noticed that the church splits well led ahead of secession.
Wow that sermon video was so powerful
