Thanksgiving, Nostalgia, and Togetherness with Robyn Henderson-Espinoza #GoActivistTheology

Published 8 years, 4 months ago
Description

Back by popular demand, Robyn Henderson-Espinoza sits down to talk with Tripp about Thanksgiving, the theology of nostalgia, and the politics of wholeness. They discuss:

  • the postwar origins of Thanksgiving
  • how do we reconcile the Christian rhetoric of gratitude and the founding of our country on the genocide of indigenous peoples
  • appropriate (and inappropriate) holiday costumes for children
  • what did the first thanksgiving look like? do we really know that story?
  • the bad theology of nostalgia and the bad politics of wholeness
  • how to develop practices of togetherness

Plus, Robyn and Tripp talk about a cool new #goactivisttheology project you won't want to miss.
