FORTHCOMING IN 2022

Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World—and How to Repair It All

FOUR WORDS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING

Core Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31
Drawing from her celebrated book, The Very Good Gospel, Lisa Sharon Harper talks the Gospel, race and how God intended us to live together. Mining Genesis 1 Harper sheds light on four simple words that change everything.

RACE AND POLITICS IN THE U.S.

Genesis 1:26-27
Come and consider how race and bias impact public policy and how faith can flip the script.

THE INTERSECTIONAL ORIGINS OF RACE AND GENDER IN THE U.S.

The first race laws crafted in the English colonies were also the first gender laws written on North American colonial soil. This lecture will uncover the legal roots of white patriarchy in the U.S.. Harper will illuminate the real-life consequences of the laws for people of African descent, particularly Black and mixed race women, and Harper will explore the theological implications of the American constructs of race and gender.

HOW TO REPAIR WHAT RACE BROKE IN THE WORLD

What will propel us towards Shalom and a generation of abundance? This lecture is based on Lisa Sharon Harper’s upcoming book Fortune.

THE VERY GOOD GOSPEL FOR WOMEN

In an era of me-too, church-too and separation of black and brown mothers from their children by mass detention and mass incarceration, what is the very good news for women? What transformative work might God have yet to do for and through our silenced voices and traded bodies? Come along as Lisa Sharon Harper takes us back to the beginning with deep exploration of Genesis 1-3 and considers its profound implications on the lives and calling of women right now.

THE CALL TO BELOVED COMMUNITY

How do we respond to a history of racism and become the Beloved Community described in Psalm 85?

FAITH ROOTED ORGANIZING TRAINING

Faith-Rooted Organizing draws from the roots of our traditions to help faith communities engage the larger movement for justice in our world. In this workshop Lisa Sharon Harper will  equip participants to engage the issues at play in their towns and cities by examining the response of Nehemiah to his colonized context.

Yes, @TheAmandaGorman, it takes a monster to kill children. But when @tedcruz @GregAbbott_TX ... @lousaenztx @RenaeEze @john_jwitt and staff (Luis, John, Renae) watch monsters kill children again and again and do the gaslighting dance—protecting guns not children—that is monstrous.
