• As part of JST’s commitment to anti-racist action, the JST Student Life Office is offering a book club that examines closely the work of the African-American liberation theologian, James H. Cone, in his work, The Cross and the Lynching Tree. In this personal recounting of black religious experience, Cone argues "that the cross placed alongside the lynching tree can help us to see Jesus in America in a new light, and thereby empower people who claim to follow him to take a stand against white supremacy and every kind of injustice." We plan to discuss this book in small groups for four weeks, from mid-January to mid-February. The book is available for free as an ebook (unlimited users) that you can check out from the SCU library. Please fill out this form by December 16 if you are interested in participating in and/or facilitating a group.
