“The whole church age has a difficult and painful history that largely has leveraged political power and force to implement incredible damage to itself, those seen as outside of, and overall- all creation. To know God or to claim Christianity and to turn a blind eye on this increases the likelihood of continuing this damaging tradition. And these conversations bring to the forefront a significant part of the damage in our generation.
If you know God or claim Christianity, I encourage you to resist any defensiveness to listen, to truly hear what is being said, sit with it, feel the pain of the stories, let Christ speak through these voices, these experiences, these lives that are precious in the Trinity right where they are on their journey. Examine the fruit of the approaches that have traumatically effected their faithful expressions and identify the rotten fruit that has been handed out, and consider the life in what is being developed that is providing nourishing fruit.”
