What are you reading this week, and have you considered how to read with your fully embodied and relational self?

Whatever is happening in the world, we still read. We read for news and information. Reading inspires and moves us to action. We read so that we can prepare to preach and teach and organize our communities of faith. We still have a long way to go, when reading scripture, to make room for everyone in the text.

Listen as host Eileen Campbell-Reed interviews Rev. Dr. Angela Parker about her book If God Still Breathes, Why Can't I? Together they discuss how important it is to read scripture in ways that makes room for everyone’s experiences. And, in particular making space for Black and Brown bodies to show up and be seen and heard with each reading of the text.
