Skipped church to take this free online training.
At first, I thought, “I should read more of *The Sum of Us*” since action can be worship. (Right?)
Then, I sort of realized that (1) one really can’t max out the reading/self-education because nobody cares about all your evidence and good arguments, and (2) it’s all feelings. It’s not evidence-based; it’s feelings.
So, I decided (or God spoke to me without me knowing it) that my best action-as-worship course is this: talking to “the other side”. Step one: learning some shit. (Actually, I sort of know already, but it’s a matter of putting knowledge into action, or being reminded to.)
So, here, y’all. For my white siblings, this is one step on the path of “doing the work”. And it’s actually hard, dropping the comfortable “we hate the other side because they’re stupid or evil” thinking.
But… I think it’s where we need to go.
