Via: farmerricshi I tried a new phrase in a meeting today. Instead of “underserved,” “underprivileged” “historically marginalized,”
Try Strategically undervalued.”
I like it because it emphasizes the purposefulness of racism(rather that the historically” which gives a kind of happenstance energy) and uplifts the community, rather than emphasizing the marginalization.
God
Almighty
in
Heaven
This is
definitely a
“Do not put your
trust in princes
powers
or principalities”
week
as the value of
actual human
beings
was strategically
cleverly
humorously
manically
and with
immediate
deniability
undervalued
The weariness of
political clamor
falls away some
God
you understand
that this is
systematic
dehumanization
Bad theology
kills
And that
for us
Christians
imago
dei
is essential
for faith
We
carry God
And that
God contains
multitudes
God is community
To deny
the complexity
of humanity
To make
the human
experience
one
is to
lose
faith
God
I pray for
humanity
re-human-ing
I pray for
peace
I carry
hope
that we
will find
flashes
of true community
Walk with us
in this time of
anger and fear
we pray.
Amen
