Season 3 Episode 4: Food in Mouth
Manage episode 335560373 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 four with Willie Francois III, Thomas challenges the American church’s ongoing complicity in systems of oppression that has compromised its prophetic witness. Foot in its mouth when it claimed to follow Jesus while endorsing American slavery, it still struggles to walk the talk of the gospel that liberates.
Willie Francois III is an academician and scholar, who serves as the senior pastor at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Pleasantville, New Jersey.
