#BlackFortuneMonth

READ
DISCUSS
ACT

Throughout Black History Month 2022, Lisa Sharon Harper invites you to pilgrimage through the story of her family—which is also the story of race in America—from the colonial era through Inauguration Day 2021.

Watch and understand the impact of racial hierarchy on one family, the role of the church in establishing this hierarchy, and the faith implications of Brown, colonized Jesus.

Join Lisa and a diverse community of thought leaders as they consider how to stop simply talking about race and finally repair what it broke in the world.

Add your voice to the chorus that will rise in the final week of #BlackFortuneMonth, as readers call on Congress to move forward on truth-telling and reparations.

Yes! We need to talk. Over the last few months Bl Yes! We need to talk.

Over the last few months Black people, asylum seeking people, young people, queer people and trans people and women people—all of these people made in God’s image have endured and absorbed unending assaults against their ability to flourish in Florida. It has felt like a steady stream of punches coming from deranged bullies. It has been stunning—terrorizing—haunting. 

Then, today Social Studies text book publishers revealed that they are taking out all mentions of race from their textbooks—even from the story of Rosa Parks. 😵

This is not a culture war. This is a war against the image of God on earth. 

We MUST talk about Florida’s war on God—now.

Holy God, Please be with President Carter in his 1 Holy God, Please be with President Carter in his 11th hour. Be with him close. Be with his family. Be with his friends and colleagues. 

In this hour, while President Carter is still with us, we thank him for his service to our nation and to the ones Jesus called “the least of these” throughout the world. 

And Thank you, sir, for your Bible studies. The Word of God in your Baptist heart led you to protect the separation of church and state, to champion the dignity and empowerment of women, and to empower the impoverished. 

Your faithfulness to the peaceable kin-dom of God led you to show us glimpses of possible peace in the Middle East through the Camp David Accords. And to condemn the modern-day colonization of the Palestinian people. 

It has been a joy and an honor to work with your team @thecartercenter. They carry your work forward, sir. They carry it well. 

Thank you for your witness, dear brother. Thank you. 

Well done.

((Deep bow))

And in the context of several recent studies and polls revealing white evangelicals are more loyal to their whiteness than to Jesus. 

In this context, Asbury University is experiencing what some have characterized “a revival.” 

So, what’s going on?

Let’s talk about how we can discern if it’s revival or … something else.
