They said, do not talk about
RACE, RELIGION, & POLITICS.
So I write about them instead.
“The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don’t want to know, what you don’t want to find out. But something forces you to anyway.”

REparations & the TheoLogical discipLines:
Prophetic Voices for REmembrancE, reckoning and repair
It was an honor to be invited to co-edit and contribute to a book about reparations for the descendants of race-based slavery in the United States through Christian perspectives.
Unconventional might be the best word to describe an educational journey from integrating a White Christian school to an MFA in Creative Writing, as a pathway to doing diversity and social justice work for my denomination. It feels as if I have been preparing for this project for a lifetime. I am humbled to read about the work others are doing and my perspective is deepened and refined by the thoughts and reflections in this book.
