James Cone on Transformation and Liberation - Black Church (Romans 12:1-2)

Source: James Cone46 words

"'Do not be conformed to this world'—the world of white supremacy, of unjust systems, of oppressive patterns. The renewed mind sees through lies and imagines freedom. Transformation is liberation: minds freed from internalized oppression, bodies offered for the struggle." — James Cone. Black Church: transformative liberation.
