Every organization by its very nature is oppressive. It gives power to a few at the top, by taking it from the many at the bottom.
I was asked who were the oppressed in the “church”? I don’t know. Who do you see oppressed? And by “church” I mean the religious institution, which isn’t really church at all. There can be no “Christian” organizations since all organizations are at some level oppressive.
But what if there was another way? What if we had a mutually interdependent community made up of people who where each a part and a whole? Could it happen? What would it look like?
And what if to be that community of reciprocal relationships we did not have to do anything special except to be?
What if all we have to do is simply to be?
