White Picket Fences
White Picket Fences: Turning toward Love in a World Divided by Privilege | Amy Julia Becker
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
A Gentle Invitation into the Challenging Topic of Privilege The notion that some might have it better than others, for no good reason, offends our sensibilities. Yet, until we talk about privilege, we’ll never fully understand it or find our way forward. Amy Julia Becker welcomes us into her life, from the charm of her privileged southern childhood to her adult experience in the northeast, and the denials she has faced as the mother of a child with special needs. She shows how a life behind a white picket fence can restrict even as it protects, and how it can prevent us from loving our neighbors well. White Picket Fences invites us to respond to privilege with generosity, humility, and hope. It opens us to questions we are afraid to ask, so that we can walk further from fear and closer to love, in all its fragile and mysterious possibilities.

This wasn‘t what I expected necessarily, but then again I wasn‘t sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it and it lead me to thinking deeper. It has helped me think through my own privilege and how it has led throughout my life. Along with the presence and work of God too.
