Last updated on: April 30, 2017 at 4:56 pm By Guest Contributor

by Derrick Holmes A few days ago, I was at a City Council event where citizens, elected officials and community leaders alike all gathered in the same place to discuss issues going on in the city. In Columbus, Ohio, tensions between police officers and the public are high because of the deaths of Jaron Thomas, Ty’re King and Henry Green; all young African American men who have lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement. While at this event,... Read more

The Continuing Battle Against Patriarchy

Last updated on: May 3, 2017 at 6:58 am By Guest Contributor

by Hannah Adair Bonner So, I’m going to pull myself out of my aunt’s funeral preparations for a moment to weigh-in on this Held-Evans/Hatmaker/Warren control-versy, because y’all are honestly hurting my soul. In case you are unaware, there has been a woman-on-woman twitterary battle going on over a rather ill-advised opinion piece of a conservative Anglican priest, Rev. Tish Harrison Warren, that Christianity Today published. In the piece, Warren threw shade at a Christian blogger, Jen Hatmaker, invoking the wrath... Read more

It is indeed an honor and privilege to be with you tonight. Before I start, allow me to give some shout... Read more

Give Joseph a Job

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 9:39 pm By Guest Contributor

by Derrick Holmes The reality of the prison industrial complex is one that negatively affects persons (the majority of which are people of color) all over this country. Presently, the United States houses over a quarter of the world’s prison population despite representing only 1% of the world population. Upwards of 2 million Black and Brown bodies presently find themselves locked behind bars. Statistics show that most of the African Americans who end up incarcerated have been sentenced for non-violent... Read more

#GetOut of Sunken Place Theology

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 1:50 pm By Guest Contributor

by Lawrence Rodgers Last week I went to see Jordan Peele’s new breakout movie Get Out. I like many others was impressed by the depth of the film. When the lead character in the film Chris Washington, a black man, goes to visit his white girlfriend’s family he finds a horrifying situation–a seemingly harmless family subtly attempts to totally co-opt his agency. Through these exchanges, Chris is carefully allured to permanently lose his agency forever in what is called the... Read more
