The benefits of brokenness. . .

Realizations

Only those deeply broken and honest can fully embrace the deeply broken who need an unconditional embrace, honestly.  

The fight of faith. . .

The truth of our particular struggle pushes us beyond ourselves to the truth of other struggles…. Human beings are made for each other and no people can realize their full humanity except as they participate in its realization for others. The Jesus of the biblical and black traditions is not a theological concept but a liberating presence in the lives of the poor in their fight for dignity and worth (pp. xii-xiii).

God of the Oppressed
