Season 3 Episode 5: Turn a Blind Eye
Manage episode 335560372 series 2922569
Rev. Starlette Thomas is a womanist in ministry and the host of “The Raceless Gospel” podcast from Good Faith Media. In this ongoing conversation, Thomas and her guests talk about that taboo trinity — race, religion and politics – in the structure of a church service.
Season three of the podcast focuses on the church in North America’s “body language.” In episode five with Morgan Strehlow, Thomas turns our attention to the eyes of Christ, which are black and blue. Questioning why the North American church doesn’t feel the pain of his bruised ribs too, it is time to address sexual and physical abuse and the complicity of pretending we didn’t see a thing.
