Volatile social dissonance in America's urban landscape is the
backdrop as Valerie A. Miles-Tribble examines tensions in
ecclesiology and public theology, focusing on theoethical dilemmas
that complicate churches' public justice witness as prophetic
change agents. She attributes churches' reticence to confront
unjust disparities to conflicting views, for example, of Black
Lives Matter protests as "mere politics," and disparities in leader
and congregant preparation for public justice roles. As a practical
theologian with experience in organizational leadership,
Miles-Tribble applies adaptive change theory, public justice
theory, and a womanist communitarian perspective, engaging Emilie
Townes's construct of cultural evil as she presents a model of
social reform activism re-envisioned as public discipleship. She
contends that urban churches are urgently needed to embrace active
prophetic roles and thus increase public justice witness. "Black
Lives Matter times" compel churches to connect faith with public
roles as spiritual catalysts of change.
