WHAT WE ARE READING
Next Meeting: April 1 at 7:00 PM via Zoom (link below)
Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman
From Goodreads.com: "Celebrated theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1899–1981) revolutionizes the way we read the gospel. Thurman lifts Jesus up as a partner in the pain of the oppressed and reveals the gospel as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. In this view, the example of Jesus’s life shows us that hatred does not empower—it decays. Only by recognizing fear, deception, contempt, and love of one another can God’s justice prevail."
