Easter Sunday
Rev. JASON LYDON
"From Resurrection to Insurrection"

Musa Dube, postcolonial feminist Biblical scholar, has offered an important
lens for looking at Christian stories and mission in the world. She has
developed the "Rahab Prism" that pushes us to look at stories, including the
resurrection of Jesus, with greater complexity. There is a powerful story of
revolution available in the Jesus movement and yet it is used for
colonization, oppression, and violence time and time again. We will utilize
Musa Dube's prism to look at how the resurrection story of Jesus can
strengthen justice struggles today.

Rev. Jason Lydon is the minister at the Community Church of Boston.
