Sarah Dornbos on Being an Ally We Are The Middle

    • Cristianesimo

For this episode, we invited our friend Sarah Dornbos, who is a wonderful teacher, non-profit leader, and Social Justice champion. And...SHE BROUGHT IT. You'll hear us breathing deeply a lot in this episode because she was preaching y'all and we were taking it all in. We recorded this episode on Zoom, so the audio might be spotty in some instances. Hang with us friends.

Show Notes:


Quotes that Sarah shared: Frederick Douglas: "I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs."
Willie Jennings: "White supremacy is a parasite that can’t survive without a host - the host it attached itself to was Christianity"
Daniel Hill (Pastor who wrote “White Awake”) “The most hostile environment for having conversations about race is the white evangelical church.”
Dominique Gilliard’s book "Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that restores"

Sarah’s "3-legged-stool" recommendations from the COR:


1) Education: The Seeing White Podcast (Season 2 of Scene on Radio) is a good place to begin to learn US history that is not taught in schools! https://www.sceneonradio.org/seeing-white/

2) Action: Sign up for anti-racism training! To check out/sign up for the CORR anti-racism workshop (happening virtually during the pandemic) go here: https://corrnow.org/

3) Self-Reflection: There is a contemplative prayer practice of Lectio Divina at the end of this podcast that can help guide you through self-reflection to get past shame/defensiveness in the conversation around race and reconciliation on The Eternal Current podcast September 4th: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-eternal-current-podcast/id1476002283

4.) Spectrum of Allies from Andre Henry.
