Faith and #BlackLivesMatter

Future Directions

Abstract

The set of essays offered in this volume of Currents in Theology and Mission brings a variety of perspectives to the topic of race. It is a volume that includes graduate students as well as full professors, BIPOC scholars and White scholars, as well as scholars who span the spectrum of sexual orientation. All the authors here are thus considering the #BlackLivesMatter movement as it pertains to the full flourishing of marginalized bodies of color, as well as what the church’s role is in relation to the wider societal struggle for justice for marginalized bodies.
