Dear Emergent Church Movement,

“It is necessary for post-colonial white evangelicals to engage in that struggle. It is necessary for space to be set aside for white folks to ask the kinds of questions that are specific to the kinds of questions a post-colonizing church must ask.
But here’s the rub. To do that questioning in isolation without the partnership or tempering of your sister and brother Christians of color is to continue the cycle of evangelical repression of narratives and perspectives of color. As well, as Dr. Rah says, it will ultimately deem the Emergent Church movement isolated and irrelevant within one or two generations.”

Sincerely, Lisa Sharon Harper, Sojourners
