Border Immersion Day 5

Theology of Bodies

Bodies that matter vs. Bodies that are disposable

Salvation vs. Justice

Brown bodies are disposable. Poor bodies are disposable. Sick, disabled, addicted, female, 4-legged, fat, out-group, dirty bodies are disposable.

Bodies that matter: Wealthy bodies, healthy bodies, straight bodies, powerful bodies, Christian bodies, male bodies, eloquent bodies, tall bodies, fit bodies, angry bodies…

“We are given these stories to learn from and unpack, not replicate.” –Penny

If the Bible is the word of God, then God is a schizophrenic.

We should approach the Bible with wonder and to wonder.
