Solidarity

April 5, 2021 by Kaylyn Brown Leave a Comment

Over the past year there have been more than 3800 attacks against Asian American and Pacific Islands people in the United States. Rallies protesting recent racist attacks have taken place in many cities. Kaylyn Brown performed this spoken word poetry at a rally in the Baltimore area. We thank her for sharing the text of that work with the Emerging Scholars Network. _________________________________________________   sometimes I feel like I can't weigh in on what it's really like to be Asian even though the world … [Read more...] about Solidarity

Science Corner: Listening to Other Voices

June 17, 2020 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Advertisement of webinar about Brown Church

In the present moment, it seems like the most useful thing I can do is help make sure that other voices are heard, those with more personal stake in the matters of justice we are confronting. First, I apologize for not mentioning this last week, but Emerging Scholars Network is hosting a conversation with Robert Chao Romero, author of Brown Church, at 3pm EDT today (6/17/20). You'll need to RSVP with Bob Trube to get the Zoom link (see the image for his e-mail). If there is a recording available after the fact, I'll … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Listening to Other Voices

Science Corner: Observing Black History Month on Darwin Day

February 12, 2020 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Since today is Darwin Day, some comment seems warranted--especially because I see which science & faith topics are most popular here on the blog. At the same time, I feel pretty conflicted about the idea. While I appreciate Darwin's contributions to science, I also appreciate why honoring him specifically seems like a deliberate tweak of folks who find evolution challenging. And I think it's possible to put too much focus on Darwin himself and exacerbate the impression that evolution was just an idea he had that caught … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Observing Black History Month on Darwin Day

A Nation of Immigrants. Part 5 of Welcoming the Stranger Series

August 27, 2018 by Royce Francis 2 Comments

Immigrants today, whatever their manner of entry, come primarily for the same reasons that immigrants have always come to our country. Though immigration policies have changed quite drastically over the last two centuries, immigrants themselves are still pushed out of their countries of origin by poverty, war, and persecution, and are still drawn to the United States by promises of jobs and economic advancement, freedom, and family reunification. These push and pull factors explain most, if not all, of immigration to … [Read more...] about A Nation of Immigrants. Part 5 of Welcoming the Stranger Series

How can Privileged Christians Work Strategically for Equality?

December 30, 2015 by Vivian Chen Leave a Comment

What privileges do we have as Christians? Whatever our situation, we have more privilege than we think we do. What makes us believe in the phenomenon that we believe that we are marginalized when we really are very privileged? How can we model after Jesus and use this privilege to advocate for, minister to, and serve the disenfranchised? From Dec 27 - Jan 1, volunteers with our network of early career Christian academics are liveblogging seminars at the Urbana conference, a mission-focused student gathering of 16,000 … [Read more...] about How can Privileged Christians Work Strategically for Equality?
