One of the things that excites me but also saddens me is that the Christian church is experiencing a reckoning on its many abuses. Folks are pulling back the covers, throwing open the windows, and airing out the nature of toxic relationships, experiences, and abuse.
That's only part of the reckoning I'm speaking on because the other half is receptivity and response in the hearing. It is becoming clear that the institutional church has WORK to do to be appropriately responsive and responsible to those experiencing harm & being harmful.
Cause prayer without intervention is complicity in violence.
The excitement I spoke of is linked to feeling deeply that this uncovering is leading people to wrestle and question things they never did before.
A friend just asked "well, what do we do". In response I said 'not this bc we know what is does not serve us & isn't working'.
