Last updated on: February 27, 2017 at 5:22 pm By Guest Contributor

Working with LGBTQ & Other Allies – Moving Beyond the Kumbaya in Interfaith Work

Last updated on: February 17, 2017 at 12:00 am By Guest Contributor

It’s time to move beyond the holding hands and singing kumbaya. It’s time to make alliances with folks we don’t typically ally with. It’s time to have difficult conversations about difficult subjects. It’s time to recognize who has stood up for us and stand up for them as well, even if we don’t align theologically -- we align as humans. Read more

On Black Suffering and the Legacy of Liberating Black Spirituality

Hijra and the Black Muslim Experience

Last updated on: February 13, 2017 at 3:55 pm By Guest Contributor

Recent political developments in the U.S. have prompted many to reexamine the situation that Black people face. The routine extrajudicial killing of Black women and men by police has become increasingly visible. Expressions of white supremacist nativism have become more prominent in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign [victory and now presidency]. And, Black people’s socioeconomic prospects remain bleak. One response has been to advocate for Black American migration, invoking our collective memory of once common calls for repatriation and mass exodus. Read more

Why We’re Allies of the Muslim Community – Five Short Stories

Last updated on: January 26, 2017 at 4:09 pm By Guest Contributor
