Stories are powerful. They give meaning and understanding. Stories directly influence how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us.
One of the stories dominating politics and society today is that of chaos.
“Chaos breeds cynicism and despair. It pushes us toward withdrawal, inaction. For this reason, those who perpetrate injustice often choose chaos as their weapon,” said Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III on the CBF Podcast Conversation. “Their only remaining tactic for advancing their agenda of injustice is to enforce silence. They conjure the demon chaos, trying to use its power to provoke the other side to despair and give up their struggle.”
Rev. Dr. Moss is the senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and the professor of homiletics at McAfee School of Theology. He has written a new book, Dancing in the Darkness.
