 Paul writes this teeny-tiny letter to Anesimus, who is characterized by slave language, but then Paul writes the following in verse 14 of the letter, But I prefer to do nothing without your consent in order that your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced. In a world where we are all embedded in systems of oppression, may we work to create relationships and transformative engagements that are rooted in enthusiastic consent, so that our efforts for radical social change are embedded in the politics of radical difference. This is the good news of the Gospel for emancipation for all.
