Deconstructing Power and Isms Within the Church and Society

A Call to Justice and Courage

In a world where power often masquerades as piety and oppression wears the cloak of righteousness, Deconstructing Power and Isms within the Church and Society delivers an unflinching examination of the systems that perpetuate inequality and injustice.
