| Popis: | The article offers a psychological and pastoral assessment of white racism in white progressive Christian congregations, critiquing the tendency of such communities to engage structural racism while remaining silent about their own psychic investments in white supremacy. Through the psychoanalytic lens of Jacques Lacan and critical race theorists’ analysis of whiteness as the master signifier, the article engages the author’s own experiences with racism and anti-racist work in the classroom and in worship to offer ‘struggle’ as a redefinition of the pastoral task of healing in the context of unearthing white progressive racism. The article closes with liturgical and confessional routes to begin such a struggle. |
