Interventions is a space for students, scholars, clergy, and activists to write and collaborate on practical and theological approaches to issues of economy, ecology, religion, and justice.
Listening to the Spirit
People organize to protect and fight for what they hold sacred. Organizing works by building relational power grounded in values and relationships. Issue wins are vital - building radically democratic power is at the heart of organizing, but the first step to building political and economic power is building radically democratic relationships. Because of the crucial role of sacred value in organizing, some organizing practices are religious practices. This forum presents five different engagements with Stauffer’s new book, exploring what changes in organizing once relational power and sacred values are foregrounded in the practice. At the end, Stauffer offers a final reflection on the book and the work of organizing and theology in the Capitalocene.
