Church partnerships and Community book discussion,
“Just Mercy” by African-American author, Bryan Stevenson. Discussion via zoom & phone Mon. Aug. 3, 6:30 pm. Sign up online at www.firstenglishchurch. As a local weekly text study group of area ELCA Lutheran, and Congregational churches, we pastors have been talking about partnership over the past year – what we can do more of together. One community idea is to host book studies, free and open, collaborative discussions off and on. In a society that draws lines and embattles us over differences, we, as a church, model healthy community in Christ – how we can respectfully and safely study and learn together despite our many differences. Differences separate and don’t unite. We are united in Christ. This book study is a start. Because of the unrest and trauma of these past days our text study group has chosen this book for a Zoom meeting discussion. Collaboratively, again, everyone speaks, everyone has a voice. No one voice is any greater than the other. No political slants. One discussion. The author describes his writing this way: “This book is about getting closer to mass incarceration and extreme punishment in America. . Today we have the highest rate of incarceration in the world. The prison population has increased from 300,000 people in 1970 to 2.3 million today.” (page 22). As Stevenson says in a TED talk, “We will ultimately not be judged by our technology, we won’t be judged by our design, we won’t be judged by our intellect and reason. Ultimately, you judge the character of a society . . . by how they treat the poor, the condemned, the incarcerated.” The book was made into a 2020 movie. Viewers can watch the movie on multiple platforms including YouTube, Google Play, Amazon and Dish network. Our library is working on getting a copy as well. If you would like to be a part of this reading, study, and discussion option you can purchase the book online or check one out at the library. Let Pastor Randy know if you are reading the book and will be joining via the zoom meeting on your computer. |
