Rage ("Revolutionary Love" series, 4/9)

Proverbs and clichés admonish anger but a quick temper is not the same as divine rage. Valarie Kaur shares how our anger can be the first authentic step in loving our opponent and in building the beloved community. We'll continue our exploration of Kaur's "See No Stranger" with Chapter 4, "Rage," in conversation with Mark 3:1-5, where we meet Jesus healing on the Sabbath. How does anger inspire love in Jesus? How can rage inspire love and action in us?This is Part 4 of a 9-part series this fall putting Valarie Kaur's See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love in conversation with Gospel stories of Jesus.The Congregational Church of Needham strives to be a radically inclusive, justice-seeking, peace- making, love-affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ in Needham, MA.
