Walking on WaterPart 3: On #BLM, responses by churches and challenging our theologiesPeople may have forgotten that apartheid in South Africa and the trans-Atlantic enslavement of peoples were justified and authorised not only politically, but theologically as well. The theologians who did this work were not on the fringes, but 'pillars' of the establishment - a number of their works are still required reading in seminaries. While some have examined and repented of the roots and fruit of these and other dangerous theologies, others have uncritically continued to hold to theologies and practices that at best passively, and at worst actively, support ongoing unjust and ungodly configurations of Church and society.

The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter once again came to the fore, with individuals using it as a rallying cry to marshal support against police brutality and toward reform of policing and dignity for black and brown communities. As those protests occurred, counter-protests also sprang up, and ‘All Lives Matter’ became the slogan for some. What does a sensitive reading of this season and of history yield? Is #BlackLivesMatter a racist call, as alleged by some, or are people mistaking symb...

Dr. Soong Chan Rah, in his book Prophetic Lament says, "lament and praise must go hand in hand."
Our ability to respond to a broken world will only go as far as our ability and willingness to lament over pain and suffering.

The Surge Network PodcastSurge Lunch - March 2017 - Leading in Lament with Dr. SOONG-CHAN RAHWhen Soong-Chan Rah planted an urban church in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
his first full sermon series was a six-week exposition of the book of
Lamentations. Preaching on an obscure, depressing Old Testament book was
probably not the easiest way to launch a church. But it shaped their
community with a radically countercultural perspective.
Lament is a missing, essential component of prayer that can be found
throughout the Bible, but is often absent from our communities. It
recognizes struggles and suffering, that the world is not as it ought to
be. Lament challenges the status quo and invites us to cry out...
