United States House of Representatives John Lewis stated: "Freedom is not a state; it is an
act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally
sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation
must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." This podcast will concentrate
on the two spiritual principles of Loving the Divine Parent and Treating our Neighbors as we
would be treated. We will commence a dialogue of Re-Education of American History and the
Intersection between this Re-Education and Faith Based Love.
I’ve been motivated to start this Podcast for 2 reasons.
The murder of George Floyd
A class I’m taking through the United Church of Christ called Conversations to End
Racism
I have come to realize just how much we as Americans have been deliberately
under-educated and with this podcast I intend to not only start conversations but a
re-education of “We the People” is what I intend for us as Americans. Some of the
conversations we will engage in:
– denial of systemic injustice
– disregard for the lived experience of black people
– silence in the pulpit
– a deeply ingrained superiority regarding issues of race
– a fixation on intentions over outcomes
I must make note that our discussions no matter how deep. No matter how intense it will
always be spiritually based. I myself am Chrtistian and many times I will use passages from
the Bible in our discussions. But this is and will be an open and inclusive podcast and so all
are welcome and other spiritual books and philosophers will be used to move our
conversations to making America a lot less fragile and a lot more based on our Constitutional
dream.
