Ministry as Medicine

Critical Faith
What It Is, What It Isn't, and Why It Matters
Critical Faith insists that critical race theory is a tool to grapple with the thorny issue of race in both society and the church.

Speaking of Rape
The Limits of Language in Sexual Violations
Rape survivors need words to recover and tell their stories. But the words available often fail to describe their experiences, which isolates and silences them, enables future perpetration, and lets rape remain unacknowledged. Tumminio Hansen offers fresh ways of speaking and listening that reframe how we can describe, discuss, and address rape.
