Interrupting White Supremacy in Conservative Christian Institutions

by Mae Elise Cannon

In January I had the privilege of preaching during Spiritual Renewal Week at John Brown University in Arkansas.

I am Arab, Palestinian, Christian, evangelical, Lutheran, and male. Every element of my identity clearly marks and distinguishes me from other groups. In today’s world, especially in a Palestinian context, we are born with these identities, and in many ways, these identities determine our future.
