The Breathe Life Bible

StClinton — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 18:42:05 +0000

Christians are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

The Breathe Life Bible invites you to experience Scripture through the lens of the BREATHE acronym: Believe, Reconcile, Exalt, Act, Trust, Hope, and Elevate. Receive practical biblical encouragement. Find answers to some of life’s most difficult situations. Discover what faith in action really looks like as we pursue God’s vision of being a community where all people are valued and cared for.

As more and more faith communities deal with the effects of anti-Black racism, a racialized society, and are figuring out how to repair the spiritual, emotional, and physical damage that affects generations of their people, are these communities prepared to do the hard work of reparations and deal with the accompanying backlash those efforts will invite? Do our churches want to become trauma informed?

Black and Episcopalian: The Struggle for Inclusion

StClinton — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 16:43:36 +0000

A personal story of the struggle for authentic inclusion in the church.

From a strong voice in the dialogue about what Black lives matter means in relation to faith, a powerful lament and a hopeful message about the future. Historically, to be Episcopal/Anglican, as it was to be American, was to be white. Assimilation to whiteness has been a measure of success and acceptance, yet, assimilation requires that people of color give up something of themselves and deny parts of their heritage including religious practices that sustained their ancestors.

Despite the fact that Blackness is on display on Black History Month for example, and Black/African heritage is given primacy in the liturgy, music, and preaching during that time, at other times this doesn't seem to be the case. The author argues that whiteness is embedded in every aspect of religious life, from seminary to Christian education to last rites. Is it possible to be Black and Episcopalian and not feel alien, she asks. In her words we learn that inclusivity, above all, must be authentic.
