Nunua kutoka kwa QuakerBooks<\/span><\/a>\nB<\/span> ack mwaka wa 1968, nilikuwa mtafutaji mwenye umri wa miaka 13 na mpya kwa vuguvugu la Quaker. Baada ya mmojawapo wa mikutano yangu ya kwanza ya ibada, mshiriki wa muda mrefu wa Mkutano wa Galesburg (Mgonjwa) alinijia na kujitambulisha. Tulipokuwa tukizungumza, aligundua kwamba nilitiwa moyo na Martin Luther King Jr. na vuguvugu la uhuru wa Weusi. Kwa fahari kubwa kwa sauti yake, mtu huyu aliniambia kwamba Quakers walikuwa madhehebu ya kwanza ya Kikristo katika makoloni ya Marekani kuacha kumiliki watumwa kwa sababu, baada ya miaka 100 ya mapambano ya kiroho na utambuzi, waliamua utumwa ni dhambi na taasisi ya uonevu. Mtu huyu alidhani ningevutiwa. Hata hivyo, kabla hajaeleza zaidi, nilikuwa nimetema chai kinywani mwangu na kupiga kelele, \u201cQuakers wanamiliki watumwa? Nilishtuka na kuumia moyoni. <\/span><\/p>\nNikiwa tineja, nilivutiwa na kikundi cha Quaker kwa sababu kilikuwa kimekataa Ukristo wenye uonevu wa siku zao\u2014kile ambacho mwanatheolojia wa mapema wa Quaker Robert Barclay alikiita \u201cUkristo wa kifalme.\u201d Wa Quaker wa mapema walitafuta badala yake kufufua zaidi \u201cUkristo wa zamani,\u201d ambao kwao ulimaanisha kuwa kundi kubwa la marafiki waaminifu na wafuasi wa Yesu, yule kiongozi wa kiroho wa Kiyahudi aliyeanzisha mapinduzi na asiye na jeuri katika Palestina ya karne ya kwanza ambaye maisha na mafundisho yake yalishuhudia nguvu ya kuishi kwa mshikamano na ushirika na Roho wa ukombozi wa Mungu na huruma. Mimi pia nilitaka kuepuka dini ya kifalme, ushirikina, na utumwa ili niwe sehemu ya jumuiya ya kiroho iliyobadilishwa ambayo inapenda haki, hutenda huruma, na kutembea kwa unyenyekevu pamoja na Roho ya Mungu inayoweka huru. <\/span><\/p>\nKama Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove anavyosema katika kitabu chake<\/span>
\n Reconstructing the Gospel: Finding Freedom from Slaveholder Religion.<\/span>
\n<\/i>, Ukristo mwingi wa kisasa wa Marekani bado umejeruhiwa na kupotoshwa kwa kiwango kikubwa au kidogo na urithi dhalimu wa dini ya kifalme inayoshikilia utumwa. Hii, anaamini, ni kweli kwa mapokeo ya imani ya kiinjilisti ya Kiinjili ya Kusini mwa Wabaptisti ambaye alikulia na, mara nyingi sana, hata moyoni mwake. Nilipokuwa nikisoma kitabu chake, ilinibidi kuuliza ikiwa hii ni kweli pia kwa Waquaker wa kisasa, kutia ndani mimi. <\/span><\/p>\nWilson-Hartgrove anatayarisha kitabu chake kwa kusimulia hadithi ya jinsi Frederick Douglass alivyoandika kiambatisho kwa masimulizi yake maarufu ya mtumwa; Douglass alikuwa na wasiwasi kwamba wasomaji wangefanya makosa kitabu chake kama kukataliwa kamili kwa Yesu, Mungu, na Maandiko. Katika kiambatanisho chake, Douglass kwa hiyo alichora tofauti kama ya Quaker kati ya imani dhalimu na mazoezi ya watumwa wa Kikristo na wabaguzi wa rangi kwa upande mmoja na imani ya ukombozi ya wale wanaotafuta kufuata mafundisho na mfano wa Yesu mwenye itikadi kali na mapinduzi kwa upande mwingine. <\/span><\/p>\nWilson-Hartgrove anajenga juu ya hili. Nusu ya kwanza ya kitabu hiki ni uhakiki wenye nguvu wa dini ya leo ya washika watumwa, ambayo imekita mizizi katika ”dhambi ya asili” ya Marekani ya ukuu wa Wazungu. Nusu ya pili ya kitabu inalenga katika kujenga upya injili na jumuiya zetu za kiroho ili kuishi habari njema ya kujifunza kuishi katika roho ya toba na ukombozi wa maungamo; upinzani; na upendo mgumu, usio na jeuri. <\/span><\/p>\nWilson-Hartgrove analeta kwenye mjadala huu roho ya huruma kwa kubainisha tabia ya mila zote za kidini kujipinda katika taswira inayozidi kupatana ya dhambi za kitaasisi za ulimwengu. Anatuomba tuwe na ukomavu wa kiroho ili kukiri hili, kulikabili kikamilifu, na kujitolea kwa uaminifu na ukombozi kamili. <\/span><\/p>\nWilson-Hartgrove huwataja mara kwa mara wakomeshaji wa Quaker kama mfano halisi wa uaminifu huu mkubwa. Kuna ukweli katika hili, lakini baada ya kusoma <\/span>Inafaa kwa Uhuru, Si kwa Urafiki<\/span><\/i> na Donna McDaniel na Vanessa Julye, najua pia kwamba uaminifu wa Quaker kwa haki ya rangi mara nyingi umenyamazishwa au kuzuiwa na ukuu wa Wazungu, udhaifu wa Wazungu, na kutokuwa na utulivu kwa Weupe katika uso wa ukandamizaji unaoendelea wa ubaguzi wa rangi. Wengi wetu bado tunatulia kwa kutokuwa na chuki nyingi au wakatili kwa watu wa rangi, bila kuangalia jinsi tunavyofaidika mara kwa mara kutoka kwa mfumo wa kitaasisi wa upendeleo wa Wazungu au kuwapenda majirani zetu vya kutosha kuchukua hatari ya kujiunga na mapambano yao ya haki. <\/span><\/p>\nKwa kweli kuna mengi katika kitabu hiki ambayo yatawapa changamoto na kuwaangazia Quakers wa kisasa. Kama vile Kasisi Dakt. William J. Barber wa Pili alivyoandika katika dibaji yake ya kitabu hicho, sisi Waquaker pia twahitaji kujiuliza, \u201cJe, Mungu wetu ni mkuu kuliko ubaguzi wa rangi wa Amerika?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5090,"featured_media":3082050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920,10001],"fpb_issue_category":[10258],"class_list":["post-3125293","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","category-vitabu-vya-agosti-2019","fpb_issue_category-quakerspeak-saa-tano"],"yoast_head":"\nKujenga upya Injili: Kupata Uhuru kutoka kwa Dini ya Watumwa - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/kujenga-upya-injili-kupata-uhuru-kutoka-kwa-dini-ya-watumwa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kujenga upya Injili: Kupata Uhuru kutoka kwa Dini ya Watumwa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.
