“It was not easy for Paul to stand as a mirror and confront Peter's bias towards the Gentiles. He even had to address Barnabas as well, who got swept up in group-think. The majority of the members, including Peter, were satisfied with the way they treated Gentiles. Paul, however, advocated strongly against the evident injustices. Being a Paul and addressing difficult topics on race is what the Church needed then and still needs today. Generally, as a church, we are comfortable with the Peters but feel somewhat awkward around the Pauls because the Pauls push us into an uncomfortable realm. The Pauls are rare but are more precious today than silver and gold.”

“Imagine that moment when you step forward through fear. Stepping forward still afraid, braving the unknown, imagining an abyss into which you will fall…And then, and then you find yourself with wings, and you hold steady, maybe dipping and swirling, tentative and unstable. And then, and then you gain strength, slowly being able to climb to new heights. And then, and then you begin to soar. Imagine that moment. Because that moment is authentic, and at that moment, we are our truth. Paula Kent”

“Whenever I hear a survivor say they wish they'd had the courage to come forward, I instinctively shake my head. It was never about your courage. Fear of retaliation is real. Security is not free. It bothered me that coming forward should feel like heading toward a guillotine. I don't think most survivors want to live in hiding. We do because silence means safety. Openness means retaliation. Which means it's not the telling of the stories that we fear, it's what people will do when we tell our stories.”
