Reparations

Thank you.

And I want to just say, I have written a book in the My Theology series that is Reparations, the Healing Journey.

And it's the one step that we don't address in the Book of Forgiving.

But I think it might be worth a read alongside a really slim little volume.

no

i would say next one i would say if i was to if i was to participate in the commonwealth games i'll say what's on the table Reparations.

If I win the 100 metre, which I will, because this is how we're set up,

we get reparations.

games.

Let's do it.

Reparations games.

Listen.

And some may recognize the justice in reparations and yet think, "I personally did not enslave anyone, so why are we talking about this?"

In this episode, we're gonna move beyond those narrow ideas.

Reparations are not only about a payment, they're about repair and relationship.

And when we talk about abolition, we mean changing the conditions that created harm in the first place.

We'll hear from Anthony Smith, who goes by Ant.

Let's start a reparations committee." I invited a few people.

It, it was a subcommittee underneath worship and ministry, 'cause we don't have a peace and social concerns committee at this time, which I actually thought was a really good place to put it, because this is a spiritual question.

Reparations is a spiritual question.
