Responding to injustice

In the last year, many people have been contacting me, asking advice about how to respond to injustice.

Some have asked about racism, or classism, others have asked about or even shared their experience of abuse in the church.

Let that last phrase sink in: ‘shared their experience of abuse in the church.’ I don’t take that lightly, firstly, that people (like myself) have experienced abuse in the church, and secondly, that many have not had a safe person to tell this abuse to. The sad reality is that for years, people have been carrying the scars of injustice, and wondering why the church isn’t doing something radical to stop injustice in its own midst.
