I have a lot of words I want to say and write today but truthfully, I am not sure where to start.
I joined the launch team for @oshetamoore's new book #DearWhitePeacemakers this week. I don't do this often but I read Shalom Sistas last summer & I've been following her for a few years in social & I knew it was something I wanted and needed to read.
This book is so good. Moore is generous and empathetic and kind. She also holds a firm line as she calls in white peacemakers like me and leads us through the Sermon on the Mount through a liberation theology lens (someone into theology tell me if I got this right). White Christians, especially White Christian women, this book is a generous gift for us, an invitation to be partners in building an upside down kingdom, to empathy, to be shalom-makers in our world.
And as the news continues telling us of every space of our world that is broken -- we need to heed the call to shalom.
