I appreciate this essay on injustice, church, and about the power we don't hold and your use of stories and metaphors. I write a lot about injustice and have been in activism spaces for decades. In other words, I've read a lot about this topic, so you can believe me when I say this was well done. It definitely inspired me to consider my tables and who is invited to them.
On another note, i've never heard of these machines. Fascinating! I'll have to add this book to my TBR shelf, although I'm probably more interested in the cultural dynamics than the machines.
PAX and mentoring that way sounds very cool. What a great space for those in the BIPOC community.
I expected injustice in the world. I didn't think it would exist in the church when I was in my 20s. Here I am in my 6th decade and I'm struggling with the modern church in America. The name "Christian" is no longer a good thing. I even had a non-believing child tell me that I wasn't a Christian, because I didn't act like the judgemental, exclusionary people who called themselves Christians. It breaks my heart that Jesus is being so poorly represented by people who should know better.
