All are welcome!
Please join us even if this is your first time!
Please read ahead of time and come prepared to discuss an extract from a sociology article that talks about mixed-race faith-based progressive organizations in which people from different backgrounds work together for social justice. It talks about how two different kinds of emotion-laden personal narratives are used to help people connect across difference: what the author calls “lived injustice” stories by those who have themselves suffered from injustice and “failed covenant” stories by relatively privileged people who talk about their moral awakening to injustice. What kinds of personal stories do we tell about our faith and social justice? Are these the only two kinds of stories or are there others? What have been people’s experiences working to create solidarity across difference in mixed-race or other “mixed” groups?
