This is good!!!

To call church to the fore and acknowledge that its methodology is death dealing and requires a particular death that’s self depreciating and so counterintuitive and productive to a God who holds many names and exists in many ways that I believe sees creation as good is provocative and would like to use for my lecture😊

one of the things I appreciate about this piece is in the discussions held since sharing it with others.

for many, you’ve offered points of entry to extend critique in a way that’s both careful and of rupture.

sometimes we must simply call a thing a thing. you’ve done so and still offered encouragement for those who value Congregation, + Commitment when it is truly of and for our community.

Thank you for this offering, Chinyere. This is so incredibly important and pivotal to my current spiritual, religious, and identity development as a Black woman, and frankly just as me. Again, thank you!
