Love as the Leading Ethic for Black Contemplatives
Originally published for the Center for Spiritual Imagination
All writers make observations, but what sets these writers apart is that they are not just observing; they are also grappling with questions and expressing their perspectives on society from a contemplative heart. At the center of their work is a response to a call: a call to ensure that love is what guides our future and brings us closer to ourselves, one another and the Divine. I would argue that this contemplative outlook on society may be inherent in Black writers.
