Descrição
Resumo:This article explores Dietrich Bonhoeffer's dictum “Pray and Struggle for Justice” through the prism of ekassie, inspiring the view that the cross is not a sanitized symbol of resignation from the concrete. Prayer as a resource, and thus spirituality, in a world of racially alienated residents and inhabitants of the earth and spiritual impoverishment is subversive. The article argues that in the cohabitation of ideology and faith, when the aspirational dimension of ideology (ipso facto, cognitive rationality) shifts from doubt to certainty and from fear (the oppressor inside), a new spirituality embedded in the turbulent passages of the wretched, the black, inspires the verbs to return to the cross - the spiritual dimension of embracing the cross.
