We often talk about “comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable,” but what I see, over and over, in progressive Christian movements is a lack of intentionality toward “afflicting the comfortable,” especially when we are the comfortable. An intentional refusal to Other people means an intentional desire to examine ourselves, to interrogate our motivations and our rhetoric. Intentionality requires the ability to listen, carefully, and the ability to take what we hear to heart. If we’re going to move forward without Othering those we’re trying to help, we have to learn to listen.
