The Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae - January 17, 2021
A Prophet for Our Times
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister, theologian, and a luminary of the movement for civil rights. His prophetic legacy was largely whitewashed to make him more palatable to mainstream culture. In studying his life and writings we discover a liberal religious prophet for our times. Let's encounter Dr. King anew, and his radical message of liberation.
From Monthly: "Imagination"
Religion is very much an exercise of imagination that invites us to consider realities beyond the concrete world of our senses. Liberal religion has had a unique relationship with the the role of imagination in religion, as we’ve often dreamed of what the future may be, rather than romanticizing the past or demanding conformity with what has been. Religion and spiritually is a form of art that shapes our spiritual life.
