March 4: Liberating Jesus: Christian Ethics for Privileged People
Dr. Kristopher Norris will give a talk on his new book, “Liberating Jesus: Christian Ethics for Privileged People.” Kris is an ordained Baptist minister and currently serves as the vice president of the Alliance of Baptists. He is a former professor of Christian ethics and the author of five books, including “Witnessing Whiteness: Confronting White Supremacy in the American Church” and “Virtue and Liberation in the Ethics of Bonhoeffer.” He is the director of the Flourish program at The Shalom Project, one of Knollwood’s community nonprofit partners.
“Liberating Jesus” issues a call to free Jesus from the colonial ethic of exploitation and oppression that has distorted much of Christian theology and ministry. It offers an accessible introduction to Christian ethics, and it presents Christian ethics as a life of discipleship, following the way of Jesus for the liberation of the marginalized and oppressed.
Book copies will be available for purchase before and after the program.
Please join us for a fellowship meal from 5:15 to 6 PM.
From 6 to 7 PM on most Wednesdays, following announcements and prayer, we engage various topics of faith with speakers, panels, and group discussion. Please see our youth and children’s ministry pages for information about concurrent programming for these ages.
