Beyond The Block: Recent Episodes
Brother Jones and Brother Knox
Brother Jones and Brother Knox describe themselves as staunch advocates for the theology and harsh critics of the culture when it comes to Mormonism. A black life-long member and queer convert respectively, they bring a less heard perspective to the notoriously white and heteronormative faith. They feel their desire for justice, love, and salvation for all people, regardless of color, sex, orientation, and other identities is not only consistent with the message of Christ, but is the message of Christ. In that spirit, they share their thoughtful, honest, and occasionally raw and humorous take on Mormonism in an effort to shift the culture of Mormonism more into alignment with the theology of Mormonism.

We just had to return for this one. Lots of wisdom in this text when it comes to activism in such a short work that centers a woman, talks about privilege, poor leadership, and prejudice. We're still on break and will probably return next time there's a lesson we just can't ignore. Enjoy!
