The Importance of Normalizing the Status Quo
There is hope in the increasing frequency of conversations addressing harm, abuse of power, coercion, and manipulation within religious spaces. Normalizing the naming of these issues can lead to the formation of communities that do not employ such tactics. This normalization allows for the recognition and rejection of coercion and manipulation. The constant disruption and reassessment of the use of power and coercion, along with the ongoing theological deconstruction and reimagining, provide hope for the emergence of something new in Christian spirituality.
