Thank you for your vulnerability in this post.

What I hear in this post is a moving from the head to the body. The ways we can “know more” about how racism and White Supremacy affects our lives into how our body experiences that. I hear that you felt in your body an interconnectedness to people who experience White Body Supremacy in different ways than you and the ways that they invited you to learn more in a deep way. Does that ring true?

I also love how you talk about the importance of grace–this resonated with me as it reminds me that God’s grace can allow transformation and impact to happen far beyond what we humans can do on our own. I’m curious to learn more about what you mean by being part of an ‘oppressive tribe’? I tend to attribute oppressive actions to individual decisions, and in some cases to systems intentionally put in place, but less often to groups of people who share an identity characteristic, as I have concerns about avoiding collective blame. So the language of describing a ‘tribe’ itself as oppressive caught my attention and I’m interested to learn more about what this means to you. Thanks!

Thank you for pointing to grace received as an essential component of our formation as peacemakers. I wonder how you’d comment on the impact that grace received has had on you as you lead within and among the refugee community of the Pacific Northwest.
