SSW Lecture with Ruby Sales
‘Where Do We Go From Here: Community or Chaos’ – Ruby Sales
(This title is taken from Martin Luther King’s book, Where Do We Go From Here: Community or Chaos.)
“This question requires us to interrogate, from all of our multiple identities, the meanings of community without erasing our particularities or our universality. As spiritual guides, what is our understanding of chaos and what is our understanding of community? Within this context, how do we read Moses ascension to the mountaintop and being the beneficiary and carrier of what we call the Ten Commandments or the law. Finally, how do Christians build a social gospel for the 21st century that speaks to the question of community or chaos in a capitalist White male elitist technocracy where very few lives matter and Black, Brown and indigenous lives matter least of all.”
