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.
