My Writing Has a New Home
Managing both a blog and a newsletter has proven unwieldy, so I’ve switched to something new. You can now find my writing at No Trifling Matter, the Substack community where I share reflections about faith and spirituality, oppression and justice, trauma and healing.
I’m also releasing guided meditation recordings. You can follow me on the Insight Timer app or subscribe to the Meditating with D

“A hallmark of contemporary Christian theology is its view that the fundamental sin of humanity is pride, that is, preoccupation with the self. In contrast, love, particularly Christian love, is assumed to be entirely self-giving and devoid of concern about the self. These teachings, however, bear a particular danger—that of martyrdom—for African-American women who are socialized to live, love, and labor under the weight of atoning for the “sins” of the race as imagined by White patriarchal racism.”

“The modern church encourages African-American women to keep others’ vineyards, while neglecting their own, in two ways: by venerating Black women’s performance of strength and depending upon women’s labor and financial support to maintain the church, without providing equal opportunity for Black women to exercise their gifts in ministerial leadership; and by distorting Scripture in a way that encourages suffering and self-sacrifice among Black women.”

“For Christians engaged in racial reconciliation, in particular, solidarity is based upon our shared identity as followers of Christ who are bound together through our baptismal covenant. Thus, our solidarity must be evinced by what Duane Bidwell identifies as the characteristics of “helpful and healthful covenant partnerships”: (1) relational justice (the sharing of power, opportunity, and rewards); (2) equal regard (an ethic of interdependent mutuality in which partners empathize with and seek the flourishing of one another); (3) mutual empowerment (the capacity to influence and be influenced by others without domination or losing one’s identity); (4) respect for embodiment (honoring the body of the other, including their lived realities, as a reliable and trustworthy informant about them, the world, and the Divine); (5) and resistance to colonization (working to prevent and dismantle the internalization of harmful cultural beliefs).”

“If faith consists in our making ourselves believe what we find unbelievable, we are sunk.”

“Our ancestors’ deep and abiding faith in God’s knowledge of their struggles and belief that God heard their earnest prayers gave them not only the strength to endure but the hope that one day they would be liberated from the hands of their bullying oppressors.”

“Imagine a job posting by God: Wanted! Persons to fill divine appointments. Responsibilities: rescuing victims of social injustice—including the poor, sick, hungry, women, children, immigrants, and those who live alternate lifestyles. Also wanted! Persons to fill divine appointments to rescue perpetrators of social injustice. No experience necessary. A willing heart is essential. Equipment provided: power and effectiveness through prayer. Please respond.”

“Unjust suffering exists. Our righteousness will not protect us. But when we encounter suffering, we can know that it does not come at the hands of the Creator. We can affirm that God is with us, whispering, speaking. We are not alone, and we are not always to blame.”

“In the Christian tradition, we speak regularly of the need for reconciliation, for peace in the community. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that “there is no peace without justice.” The hope for the oppressed does not reside in setting aside differences and joining their oppressors—at least not until after justice has been wrought.”
