@CSHSeniorSem A2: In "Tattoos on the Heart," Father Gregory Boyle defines kinship as connectedness with the aim of erasing divisions in society. Boyle uses Jesus as an example of kinship, saying, "Jesus was not a man for others. He was one with others" (72). #sensemchat

A2. While reading "Tattoos on the Heart," the everpresent theme of kinship is expressed as " not serving the other, but being one with the other" (188). Boyle alludes to vulnerability as that anchor that grounds humanity and allows them to become one. #sensemchat

Q3: Greg Boyle is the epitome of Goal 4: the building of community as a Christian value. Boyle provides a voice for some of the most unrepresented people in society which is at the core of Christian teachings. #Sensemchat

Q4: By using this term, Boyle urges others to help those less privileged than themselves. This statement is directly parallel to Jesus' teachings as He prayed for sick and disabled people that we tend to abandon. #Sensemchat

Thanks, everyone for a great #sensemchat 😀
