Listening, Learning and Responding to the Word of God: Thursdays in Black Bible Studies

Led by Thursdays in Black Ambassadors – leaders in their communities committed to being visible and outspoken against such violence – a series of Bible studies were prepared for individual and congregational reflection on sexual and gender-based violence. Such reflection will help us listen to the word of God and apply our faith and vision of justice, peace, and love in our contexts today.

This series of reflections address critical topics in our societies and Christian communities that contribute to or respond to gender-based violence and provide diverse perspectives from our wide ecumenical fellowship.

Sessions:

• Speak Out Boldly (Numbers 27:1–11)
• Gender, Economics, and Structural Injustice (Ruth 1:6–13)
• Difficult Paths (Matthew 16:21–23)
• Looking and Seeing (Luke 13:10–17)
• My Destiny (Luke 2:36–38)
• Profound Poverty and Structural Inequity Examined through Ruth (Ruth 1:1–22)
