Episode notes
Biblical Conflict and Faith
- The Bible presents a conflict between those invested in the status quo (royal consciousness) and those advocating for change (prophetic imagination).
- Our faith calls us to participate in this conflict, recognizing our capacity for both.
Nuns and Royal Consciousness
- Brueggemann's book, "Prophetic Imagination," gained early traction among nuns.
- They interpreted "royal consciousness" as the male hierarchy silencing them.
Hope, Pain, and Truth
- Hope is the refusal to accept the dominant narrative, especially when painful realities are denied.
- Embracing pain and acknowledging its injustice can fuel hope and inspire change.
