It is a balm to know that I am not alone in feeling wearied, troubled, and dismayed. I just don't get why teachers, faculty, students etc. aren't organizing weekly to combat right wing terror -- guns et. al. The election model, while necessary, is clearly not working. I can't even look at schools or children without becoming emotional. Thank you for your clear-eyed carefully crafted piece.
I grew up a congregant in the SBC and have a whole host of traumas wrapped up in that. The recent published investigation is a relief in some ways because I want people to know how messed up it all is, but it is just so heartbreaking and paralyzing also. God, Christa though. No words. Thank you for sharing your struggles with the griefs of this world. I know so many of us feel that in our bones. But we keep going.
Hopeless and Hopeful
