Liberation and Reconciliation

This book review assumes that American culture is rooted in racism; it skips over any attempt to assert this proposition and then show this assertion as true. 

Article Quote: "Since white American culture is rooted in racism, liberation theology helps eradicate that which is culturally sinful and creates division in the body of Christ."

"Roberts also spoke a lot about forgiveness and repentance. He states that white peoples must repent either of racism or indifference, while black peoples must practice forgiveness. Jesus Christ aids in that process, serving as a priest that is able to help us be reconciled to God and to one another."

But what if a white person is neither racist nor indifferent?  For what can he repent?   

And what if a black person has not been sinned against or injured by any white people in this regard?  How can he forgive?  There are black people who have never seen white people, and vice versa white people who have never met any black people.

He did not mean that the apocalypse was at hand, that wars and violence had ceased, that human beings would no longer love, mate, and play. Kojève called himself a god and made a radical reading of Christianity, but he claimed to be a philosopher, not a prophet. History was over because the final truth about human life had at last been discovered—in the thought of Hegel, the subject of Kojève’s seminar. It followed that there could be no serious debate, and no real conflict, over the proper organization of political life. Kojève’s announcement, in the face of a looming disaster, was that the ideological conflicts of his age were a mirage. The future belonged not to socialism, liberalism, or fascism, but to a philosophy, known to him alone...

Church Buddy Call :: Being Available

                                                      Church Buddy Call                     2024 March 25      A  good c hurch buddy called at 6 or 7 this morning and we had a wonderful chat, or, as best as you can expect over the phone.      In parting, he asked me how he could be praying for me.   I asked for prayers that I could rest transparently in Christ with fuller satisfaction so that I would not feel the urge to self-medicate with more food (typically corn chips). But, I should have asked for something more dear to my heart. Hindsight is 20/20.  Availability:     Please pray that our church members make themselves more available for each other, that we can knock on doors and visit freely, hanging out indefinitely, face-to-face....
