Really good piece. (And it’s giving me some kind of feelings about where I need to be more vulnerable especially in church communities where building bonds of trust is possible but still scary.)

Saw someone say something like "so everyone's supposed to think and talk like an activist or organizer concerned with coalition building." My answer is: only if you actually care about winning and about things getting better. Comparing to people who don't have your goals or values is folly.

Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."
