The Young Prophets Collective just finished their first prophetic retreat. That leaves me wondering— what happened to the *Old *Prophets? And when did we turn into the Old Guard? Some of us died recently. Notably Walter Bruggemann:
“We will not understand the meaning of prophetic imagination unless we see the connection between the *religion of static triumphalism *and the *politics of oppression and exploitation,*” Dr. Brueggemann wrote in “The Prophetic Imagination.”
I for one have had *way* more than enough of "the *religion of static triumphalism* and the *politics of oppression and exploitation*."
