The Corner: The faith community we are part of is broke:
Desmond Tutu talks of something very similar to a "constitutive community of emancipatory transformation" when describes the African ethos of ubuntu:
A community with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
That's a good description of what a church is called to be.[/COLOR]
Yes, very good.
