Listen "Imagination and Diversity in Place"
Episode Synopsis
What makes people gravitate towards diverse places or towards white places? Is the church being mindful of the narratives they choose to tell? Dr. Leong brings in the ideas of Bob Ekblad who talks of the church being the bridge between the margins and the mainstream. We also touch on the signifiant writings of Stanley Haurwas that emphasize how the church gathers to rehearse and retell the transformative story of the gospel. Are we even paying attention the diverse ways the gospel is playing out in social structures that are not our own?Buy Dr. Leong's book Race and PlaceRead Stanley Haurwas's book Resident AliensFrank Spina's book The Faith of the OutsiderJoin our Patreon Team! https://www.patreon.com/cyndiparkerConnect with me on Facebook at Instagram or send me an email through www.narrativeofplace.com
