“I appreciate the podcast and gain insight and perspective in the listening. This particular episode (Reproach Carefully) got my attention in hearing the discussion about the resignation of Harvard’s president. I am so glad Nicole expressed her perspective and experience of POC having the added burden to “do twice as much to get half as far” (my words, not hers exactly). I’m so glad she stood firm on her belief that the probe into Claudine Gay’s plagiarism was racially motivated. I respect that Nicole respectfully did not back off her very valid assessment of the whole matter. I was disappointed that Mike and Dr. Moore, whom I have gained great respect for over the course of listening to the Bulletin, offered so little affirmation and respect of Nicole’s lived experience and expertise in this area. A little humility and deference goes a long way, gentlemen, especially when you are hearing from the only qualified person at the table to offer an adequate valuation of the full story. Additionally, I would have expected the Bulletin to present a broader perspective of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as has been the case with other current events and big issues. There are Christian Palestinian scholars, theologians and experts who have relevant knowledge and perspective that the Church is in dire need of hearing and learning from. The Bulletin, in my opinion, has a responsibility to give voice to the aforementioned rather than doubling down on simply taking the side of Israel.”
