I’ve been thinking about Mercy Amba Oduyuye this week, returning to her work and recalling the legacy she left in theology and in the lives of all women, but especially African women.
In a bit of parallel in my corner of the world, these dynamics are repeated but with Asian Canadian Christianity. Not a lot of folks here I've encountered have the ability/willingness to understand or work on multiple intersecting levels, and the anti-gay stances of many of my elders are continually used/propped up/weaponized. It's a struggle.
As always, thanks for writing, Reverend.

Brilliant work as always. I have a new voice to lean on in complex conversations about race and sexuality.
