Certain Kinds of Outlaws

Posted on April 15, 2022 by Querida

I was listening to Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon the other day, and marveling at her ability to tell such full, rich stories interspersed with moments of pain as well as moments of humor. I came to a line that beckoned me to pause, rewind, and listen again. Pilate – a character who has become…

Out of the Wilderness

Posted on March 24, 2022 by Querida

The Easter season always reminds me of frilly dresses and ruffled socks and memorized speeches recited on Easter morning. From Ash Wednesday somberly beckoning me to remember from whence we came, clear through to Resurrection Sunday’s triumphant declaration of victory over death, Easter brings with it a unique combination of holy contemplation and bittersweet joy….

Piece 35: Black Church

Posted on February 19, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

When you think of the terror that has been inflicted on the black church in this country time and again, how do you imagine you might feel if the black church was that first place of faith for you? Would you feel safe to worship in the space where you truly felt at home?

Mary, Did You Know?

Posted on January 11, 2021November 1, 2021 by Querida

Truly, is it any wonder that we may find ourselves unable to connect the cross and the lynching tree, when the gross brutality of lynching has been almost entirely left out of the Savior narrative espoused in too many of our pulpits?

Piece 24: Go Tell it On The Mountain

Posted on November 25, 2020November 1, 2021 by Querida
