Practices of belonging and resistance

Kat Armas connects Christian spiritual practice with questions of power, community, and belonging in contemporary life. The book explains how it understands modern “empire,” looks to early Christians’ responses to imperial pressures, and offers guidance for resisting exploitation and oppression through daily practices. Its structure brings biblical theology together with practical suggestions for building community and creating spaces where people can belong to God, themselves, one another, and creation. The emphasis is on faith as a way of life shaped by shared humanity rather than dominance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians seeking spiritual practices for living amid systems they understand as exploitative or oppressive
  • Readers interested in the relationship between Christian faith, social power, and community-building

Book overview

"A thought-provoking look at the intertwining of religion and social control."--Publishers Weekly

Everyone wants to belong. But what does belonging look like in the context of living within an empire and its ideologies?

In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power. Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation.

This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression as it

● explains what "empire" is in our modern day;
● gives practical spiritual guidance for resisting empire's daily influence;
● explores how early Christians navigated imperial pressures; and
● offers community-building strategies and help to cultivate spaces of authentic belonging.

Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to--one liturgy at a time.
