About this listen

America is at a pivotal crossroads. The soul of our nation is at stake and in peril. A new public narrative is needed to unite Americans around common values and to counter the increasing discord and acrimony in our politics and culture. The moral vision of Martin Luther King Jr.'s beloved community, which animated and galvanized the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, provides a hopeful way forward.

In A More Perfect Union, Adam Russell Taylor reimagines a contemporary version of the beloved community that will inspire and unite Americans across generations, geographic and class divides, racial and gender differences, faith traditions, and ideological leanings. In the beloved community, neither privilege nor punishment is tied to race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or economic status, and everyone is able to realize their full potential and thrive. Building the beloved community requires living out a series of commitments, such as true equality, radical welcome, transformational interdependence, E Pluribus Unum ("out of many, one"), environmental stewardship, nonviolence, and economic equity. By building the beloved community, we unify the country around a shared moral vision that transcends ideology and partisanship, enabling our nation to live up to its best ideals and realize a more perfect union.

Denial

Loved it! It explains how so many Americans, claiming to be "Good Christians", have strayed from the Gospels to become "Ugly Americans". Their denial of Christian values in favor of political tribalism is driving many from the churches.

Clearly believes the current ideology

He talks about systemic racism.

A very greek view of human nature rather than Biblical.

Systemic racism sounds like secularized original sin for white people.

Waste of time

No politics please!!!

I did not need or want this author’s political views. I hear enough of that every day on the news. I love my audible books because it is a brief escape of ALL the ugliness from both parties. I spent one of my audibles credits and I am disgusted. After 15 minutes of this authors political opinion and still no story I turned it off and will delete it from my library. If you want more politics get this book, if not, stay away!!
