Negative Peace

from Faith in the Cracks · host Karen Wright

What does peace really mean when justice is unfinished?In this episode of Faith in the Cracks, we listen again to Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and reflect on his warning about “negative peace”—the calm that comes from avoiding tension rather than confronting injustice. From Birmingham in 1963 to Minneapolis today, we explore how faith is tested in moments of disruption, and how real peace often asks more of us than comfort allows.Support the show
