Hey just so y’all know this isn’t one way communication! I’m always willing to talk about whatever I have posted or shared right here in this community.
"My life is in response to the day Love was murdered on a hill, by law enforcement, in state-sponsored execution while Love's own mother watched on. You see grace, mercy, every little, fucking thing that’s ever been good and life-giving for me was because of God. Of encountering Love one day. If that sounds like bullshit to you, I get it.
But the reason I keep responding: I keep screaming #BlackLivesMatter. The reason I believe queer bodies are the literal Gospel to a decaying church. How Blackness is the only hope for this decaying republic. How I know all this is I encountered a Love that was murdered just for loving us. Its response to that is simply to offer life."
For all we bring into this world. We are co creating this new Kin-dom with the God we serve. Keep being dope and engage in what I am trying to create here. We have a reperations pricing model here. Check it out !
I'm a little late to this party, but I'm here. One of my pastors always said the after party was the best. Sir, you continue writing love letters. Strong, passionate, vulnerable, fiery love letters. Thank you.
Amen. I have members right now in the ELCA church I pastor who are not coming to church because I dared to speak on white supremacy. I'm not even sure what I said but it suuurrrreee made a few uncomfortable. We are a church who is 99.75% white. Be bold.

Thank you.

Thanks for this, Lenny. It's been a month of responding and questioning if anyone is listening. Thank you for the sorely needed attitude adjustment.
