In the face of racism, inequality, prejudice, and privilege, do you ever wonder what next steps you can take with your family and friends, neighbors and co-workers, for the sake of God’s justice and love? Or how best to be an effective ally (or co-conspirator)?

“The Anatomy of a Christian: A Zine on Privilege and Solidarity” is here to help. In the classic style of a “zine” (a homemade, DIY, small-batch, easy-to-reproduce “magazine” format pioneered in the 1960s and 70s), “The Anatomy of a Christian” takes the ancient image of the Body of Christ as a framework and springboard for exploring the challenges of inequality, privilege, and solidarity in our lives.

Divided into five sections (which can unfold over five weeks, or five days, or whatever schedule works best for you), “The Anatomy of a Christian” is tailor-made for families and small groups of all shapes and sizes. Each section includes a theme, scripture passage, reflection, prayer, conversation starters, and some simple, accessible activities to try - all for the sake of building a healthier Body of Christ, and a more vibrant, just, inclusive Beloved Community. 

A big SALT thank you to Quinn Caldwell for his thinking, writing, and overall awesomeness and to Sandhya Jha (over at Without Fear Consulting) for offering a cultural humility and anti-oppression read of this text (and for her excitement about families engaging deeply in this work of healing Christ's body together!).
