TWIR 8.6.2017 Wrestling A Blessing

Rev. Anne Dunlap finds lessons from both Jacob's story and Jesus's as they wrestle with strangers and the realities of murderous regimes -- lessons that can help white folk stay with our discomfort in confronting white supremacy rather than reacting with "white fragility." "The point in engaging in the wrestling, you see, Is to not stay the same. The point, as white folks, in wrestling With the reality of white supremacy And how it is embedded in us Is to not stay the same. The wrestling should change our behavior. It should change our practice. It should change our self-understanding." As always, resources for the call to action, references, and copyright/permissions info can be found in the transcript, which can be found here: http://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/the-word-is-resistance.html
