In fact, U.S. liberation movements
are already under way in women's groups,
community organizing
efforts among the poor, the search for
freedom by gay and lesbian
communities, and in Native American, African American and Hispanic struggles against U.S. racism, and in a host of works for justice, peace and the wholeness of creation.
i long with you david... and i myself stumble in my own awkward
efforts toward
freedom, and as you said, we know the fact
is that it
is scary to move into
freedom... because it
is unknown... but i see so many on this newfound road to
freedom get trapped in the liminal space of wish - fullfillment
community (which actually rather looks like affinity rather than the hard - won
community that comes from communitas)... i
'm sure this
is going to come off the wrong way, but i
'm going to say it anyway: many of the comments seem to
be «all about me», and truly that
is what religion
is... but not
freedom, not the mission of Jesus where you die to yourself by taking up your cross daily... not
being centered on the «other» rather than yourself...
