BODIES | Resisting & Insisting
The word BODIES is multifaceted. Each one of us is a body. Collectively we comprise a body. Spiritually, we are to 'take eat, this is my body' and we are to be the body of Christ.
A BODY is also what they call you when a name is too dignifying for their hurtful purposes. Cells and cages full of bodies. Not somebodies, just bodies.
Over the course of the next 46 days, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, we will explore what it looks like for us to resist and insist that all bodies should experience good news. We will explore what it means to become a body (both communally and spiritually) that resists systemic injustice and insists on joy and generativity.
