On Tuesdays over Zoom we are reading and discussing the book, Healing our Broken Humanity, by Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Graham Hill. If you would like to participate, please email our pastor and she will get you a copy of the book as well as information so you can join Zoom.
This Week: Reinforce Agency
Please read chapter 7 (pages 126-136), and consider these questions:
1. What is agency?
2. What restricts agency?
3. On pages 133-135, the authors suggest numerous ways for the church and other groups to reinforce agency. Which of these might be relevant to Walmer? Can you think of other things we might do to reinforce agency?
From the back cover
Our broken world needs healing and hope, and Jesus calls us to be a peace-making and reconciling people. But how? Grace Ji-Sun Kim and Graham Hill offer Christian practices that can transform society, from lament and repentance to relinquishing power, reinforcing agency, and more. Embodying these practices enables us to be the new humanity in Jesus Christ, so the church and world can experience reconciliation, justice, peace, and love.
