On this episode of Fill the JAR, we talk with Dr. Sharon Fennema, the Join the Movement Curator & Storyteller at the United Church of Christ. Dr. Fennema is a facilitator, ritualist, activist, teacher, and scholar whose work lives at the intersections of critical race, postcolonial and gender theories and embodied spiritual practices which form identity and craft theology. She is passionate about empowering faith communities and changemakers to become the communities of justice and love we seek in the midst of the struggle for freedom, because she believes that each moment, from the most mundane committee meeting to the most profound direct action, can be an unbreaking of the reign of God.
