Gathering 149: “Black Lives Matter”

Beatitudes Radio

Black Lives Matter. This often-divisive civil rights movement has reshaped the ways in which we practice justice for our black and brown brothers and sisters. Christianity, too, has had its fair share of controversial shakeups dedicated to overturning the structures of societal inequalities. Take Liberation Theology. Although founded on the tenants of applying Christian faith to social action, it has been called Marxist and patriarchal. Join us this week as ellie hutchison, our Member in Discernment, examines the parallels of the Black Lives Movement with feminist liberation theology. Listen and learn of the origins of each and discover how at the core both exist to bring awareness to the oppressed and the marginalized. And how, like Jesus, both incorporate full humanity in their practice of justice. Discover what it could mean for our world and society if we were to reframe the way we practice justice, and simply make love real.
