#67 Dominique Gilliard on Mass Incarceration, Christian Theology & the Church
Dominique Gilliard is the author of Rethinking Incarceration: Advocating for Justice that Restores (IVP, Spring 2018) and the Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation for the Love Mercy, Do Justice ministry initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), where he is an ordained minister. Dominique has served in pastoral ministry in Atlanta, Chicago and Oakland. He also serves on the board of directors for the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA). The ECC named Dominique to its list of “40 Under 40” leaders to watch and the Huffington Post named him as one of the “Black Christian Leaders Changing the World.” In this episode of RePlacing Church, he joins me to discuss:
How the incarceration of Paul and Silas influenced him
How our incarceration system is predicated on dehumanization, isolation and exploitation
How penal substitution theology has led to our American punitive criminal justice models
Racial disparities and incarceration
How for-profit private prisons have increased incarceration
How the Bible advocates for restorative justice and what Christians can do
