There's a really good article in The Lutheran called Black & white in the ELCA. It's got some great thoughts on justice and how 'the blessed' and 'not so blessed' look at the role of church, pastor, Jesus & justice so differently. This might help us frame the need to participate in IMPACT and other social justice ministries at Peace as well as working on our vision of being radically welcoming.
"Whites, owners, of the dominant culture, assume the system is 'just fine'. The pursuit of justice goes to the social ministry committee who decides how to assist the 'least of these' to help the disadvantaged. Those who feel they are 'blessed' decide how many dollars to give 'the blessed out'. The great focus in the white church is on the individual, not culture or society." |
