“Talking about privilege is difficult, if it makes you
uncomfortable that's probably a good thing. Growth is uncomfortable. Let's all
examine the places we have privilege. Are you white? Are you able-bodied? Are
you not trans? Are you a man? Are you straight? Are you financially
comfortable? Are you well educated? These aren't things that should make you
feel shame! But if you are in these categories (especially if you are in most
of these categories) please have some awareness about those whose lives are
complicated simply by not being you.” Rev Jakob Hero (MCC minister/hospital
chaplain)
