The New York Times bestselling author of Be the Bridge calls people of faith to be a part of lasting change and help heal the racial disparity in our country—together.We might think of systemic racism as an unfortunate part of American history, something that happened back in the day. But the systems were never truly dismantled in our country, leaving artifacts of injustice that continue to affect every aspect of life for Black and Brown Americans. Many of us feel overwhelmed by the problem, unsure how we can make a difference. Yet God calls the church to stand firmly committed to racial reconciliation—and for each one of us to make choices that lead to healing. In Brown Faces, White Spaces, Latasha Morrison—a speaker, bridge builder, and champion for unity—explores nine aspects of American life where systemic racism still flourishes, including education, healthcare, the justice system, entertainment, and the church. Through story, historical context, and present realities, Morrison looks at what it means to recognize and confess the truth about inequities in the system (preparation), commit ourselves to changing the system (dedication), and move into true freedom as a society (liberation).  Drawing on rich sociological insights, as well as experiences of family and friends and from her own life, Morrison asks: How does knowing our country’s history make a difference in how we live today? How does Jesus’s divine act of reconciliation on the cross lead to human liberation from oppression? How might we create systems for all to flourish? This honest, hope-filled book shows us how we can reform historically white spaces and create systems that work for the good of all. Join the bridge-building movement that is listening, learning, and working together for equity in every aspect of our lives.Includes questions for personal reflection and group discussion.

Bogen er en praktisk og visionær bog, der peger, på, hvordan man kan arbejde med at skabe den bedste oplevelse for de mennesker, der kommer i kirken. I folkekirken er der tradition for kun at være optaget af ydelsen: selve gudstjenesten, selve den kirkelige handling, selve koncerten, selve foredraget osv., men hvis man kun er optaget af ydelsen i sig selv, ja, så er man kun optaget af, hvad man leverer. I arbejdet med gæsteoplevelsen handler det om hele oplevelsen, altså også om, hvordan man leverer. Gæsteoplevelsen handler om alt det, der er omkring ydelsen. Det handler om, hvordan man er over for sine gæster.Denne bog er til dig, der gerne vil fremtidssikre folkekirken.

Med andre ord: Hvad skal der til, for at der også i fremtiden vil være en folkets kirke?Bogen er et ambitiøst forsøg på for første gang at arbejde med gæsteoplevelsen i folkekirken.

The CAGED EAGLEInspiration for the Journey, A short story series Triumphant victory overcoming life's suffering, injustice and loss. Entrance into the new decade has been a series of solemn plateaux, encompassing deserts of confusion, and valleys of heartbreak, and loss...Yet, dichotomously of introspection, redirection as well as reconnection to what matters most in this life, God and oneself and family and friends. Excerpt of Foreword by Author The CAGED EAGLE is a message of hope and inspiration for everyone who has experienced the harmful impact of social injustice, unexpected suffering and loss. This short-story is based upon true events of an American family growing up in an era when the "Land of the Free" was crying out for Freedom. Its storyline paints a portrait of allegorical prose interplaying the life of the family's eldest son and the long-term effects of racial and social injustices with the anomaly of an Eagle the son later witnessed being kept in an open cage. The author presents a message of ultimate victory through biblical references enabling every sufferer to triumph in every aspect of life including death through the power of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in eternal life.
