Contemplative Comics day 83

I made this two years ago, and at the time it felt like I was saying something pretty radical. Not so much anymore.

Evangelicalism feels like a phantom limb to me now. One I severed a long time ago, but I still feel the pain.

I know people of color would read this and tell me they’ve been saying this and experiencing this for quite some time. I just wasn’t able to hear it yet. But I hear it now. I will continue to listen, learn from, and attempt to amplify those voices of men and women who have endured for the Gospel.

As I saw Charlie Dates post on Twitter yesterday, I will vote like I am a lobbyist for the poor. I will pray like I am a lobbyist for the outcast. I will teach like I am a lobbyist for the marginalized.

And I will continue to study theology from below.

On earth as in heaven,
