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.

In this third teaching in the series, "Faith In the Exile", Leah looks at the practice of lament and considers the role it played for the exile community in processing pain and suffering. We look at the poem in Lamentations 3 and consider how cultivating practices for lament might be an important component in navigating faith in the pandemic exile and beyond.
