We reflected on the Pavlovitz blog post on the tendency of human nature to create an enemy in the pursuit of the moral high ground. We included incidents when we found ourselves doing just that, and when we found ourselves the victim of others. We commented on the stereotypes that played a role in the recent incidents in Ferguson, Paris and UVA.
We devised a slight variation for this class offering going forward: we will examine the weekly lectionary readings and tie it into current events. Next week we will follow this direction with our seminarian, Karen Sawyer, agreeing to lead the discussion.
