#anablacktivism

What's going on fellow AnaBlacktivists and allies! After the success of our last AnaBlacktivism chat on #JamesConeWasRight

, we decided that what better way to continue the conversation and have an edifying and educational Twitter Chat on Womanist Theology.

Our host and facilitator for the discussion will be Micky Jones: theologian, student, and activist. 

"Micky is a student, writer, and communicator, living just south of Nashville, TN with her beer aficionado husband, KC, and their 3 creative, funny and kind children. After more than 10 years as a mother-baby specialist (doula, childbirth educator, lactation consultant, trainer and author), she decided to become a theologian.

She is currently studying with NAIITS (North American Institute for Indigenous Theological Studies) through George Fox Evangelical Seminary. She plans to go on to PhD studies. Micky currently serves on the planning teams of the TransFORM Network and Wild Goose Festival. Her special interests include womanist theology, the intersections of Black and Native American history and theology, practical theology, nonviolent direct action, and health issues (particularly around stress, women, birth and children). Micky likes to engage in interesting conversations, participate in transformative experiences … and dance."

You can find Micky's work on Patheos' Emergent Village , Theology of Ferguson, and on Twitter.

DATE: JANUARY 26TH, 2015

TIME: 8:00PM EASTERN STANDARD U.S. TIME

HASHTAG: We have a hashtag in mind, but since we want it to trend, we will announce the hashtag the night of the Twitter Chat.

I aimed to do this without centering the feelings of would-be “allies” or seek the approval of the dominant culture. I wanted to invite my friends and (presumably) my audience to an alternative beyond the liberal, conservative divide as well as the never really nuanced “third way.” I also sought to…

“Slaves, obey your earthly masterswith fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ; not only while being watched, and in order to please them, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women, knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are slaves…

Demons and Spiritual Warfare: In Conclusion

Last month, I did a fair amount of coverage on spiritual warfare and ‘demonology’ – of sorts. No, it wasn’t the sort of dense, theological treatise that the belong in the great ranks of theological seminaries, but this is actually what I intended. I wanted the discussion to be more accessible to the laymen interested in the topic. As my series alluded to, the topic is heavily infused within our…
