Posted by Leigh Morrison | May 27, 2021 | Features, Operationalizing Justice, Recent Posts | 0

As practitioners, we are working through how best to handle these challenges in real time, and we do not have all the answers. However, we must commit ourselves to thinking through them and seeking ways to minimize harm. This is precisely the “messiness” that has scared some organizations off from their initial commitments… and working through it is critical to progress.

Supporting reparations requires circumventing these “distancing” barriers by unlearning capitalist, individualist mindsets into which most of us in the U.S. have been deeply socialized. It is incumbent upon us to take action as individuals and organizations to prove that reparations are possible and to address harm in our communities where our representatives fail to do so.

By nature, religion and religious institutions are steeped in traditions – which are part of what brings us meaning in engaging with them. By the same token, uncritical embrace of “tradition” at times risks obscuring the ways that institutions may be upholding inequities and elements of systems we seek to dismantle. As members and leaders of religious institutions navigate the role of faith in this work, it is critical that we unpack these nuances – even if they present us with questions that elicit discomfort.
