Can This Be The Christ?

Guest speaker Sylvia invites us to wrestle with one of the most difficult and often overlooked stories in scripture: the unnamed concubine in Judges 19. Through her story of suffering and betrayal, Sylvia asks what it means to see Christ in unexpected places, even among the most marginalized and dehumanized. This teaching challenges us to confront violence, resist dehumanization, and embody compassion, courage, and justice in our own lives.

As Lent begins, Leah launches a special series within “Earthly Empire & Divine Kin-dom,” focusing on the life and resistance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. She examines how Bonhoeffer’s time in New York—studying at Union Theological Seminary, worshiping at Abyssinian Baptist Church, and confronting American racism—transformed his understanding of Jesus and justice.
