Ep 3: Rene August - Apartheid, Diversity, and Scripture
Listen now
Description
In this episode I speak to Rene August, a veteran of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and a justice advocate for diversity and inclusion. We discuss what it was like for her to grow up in a culture of apartheid, the negative influence of white euro-centric theology on her context, the dangerous power of image in Empire, and the importance of reading Scripture through diverse lenses. Rene calls us to a fresh approach to reading God's story and through that reframing our pain and injustice in new light.
