Commentary, Psalm 137, Brad R. Braxton,
The African American Lectionary, 2008.
 | "Let us be honest about the pain
of oppression and ask if we are the oppressed, the oppressor, or
both at the same time." |

| Articles & Background:
|
"Conversations Among Exiles," by Walter Brueggemann. Reprinted from
The Christian Century at
Religion Online.
| "The bitterness directed in our society
against humanists, Muslims, homosexuals, communists and so forth is in the
Old Testament addressed to the God from whom no secret can be kept. Such
cathartic utterances are also an honest and courageous practice of
prayer." |
|
|
"Pilgrims
Lost in an Alien Land," Brett Webb-Mitchell. Theology Today,
1992.
| "Young people who have been
diagnosed as having some kind of "behavior disorders" are
pilgrims lost in an alien land. It is important to note that they
are not new to God's story, since they are able to describe God and
God's nature in ways that reveal a living faith." |
|
|
"The
Lord's Song in a Strange Land," James I. McCord. Theology
Today, 1964.
| "We are tempted today to inner
emigration from the urban culture that has developed in a
technological age." |
