The Risk of Being Woke with author Curtis DeYoung
on January 23 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
“The Risk of Being Woke: Sermonic Reflections for Activists is a 21st century call to embrace racial justice action, live in beloved community, and seek refreshing mystic moments as we emerge from a health pandemic and engage in a racial reckoning.
Are you a Christian, an activist, or both yearning for justice to roll down like water? Are you seeking Biblically informed spiritual guidance while keeping your eyes open to challenging societal truths? This collection of sermonic reflections from Curtiss Paul DeYoung, CEO of the Minnesota Council of Churches, written following the murder of George Floyd, provides spiritual sustenance for the activist soul.
This book is divided into three sections that call us into the biblically inspired work of racial justice through action, community, and mystic moments. For preachers, teachers, and activists, these reflections serve as inspiration
for one’s own oratorical promptings and social engagement.“
