I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if only they had known they were slaves. – Harriet Tubman
We may be unaware of the ways in which we are constrained. Or, we may be far too aware that we are stuck, certain that we know how to remove ourselves from our trappings, and finding that we get no closer to the freedom we seek. Perhaps the key to freedom is far simpler than we imagined, and we are looking in the wrong places.
Lucas holds a Master’s in Theology and the Arts from Union Theological Seminary in New York. There he served as a chapel minister, helping to plan and lead daily services organized by student groups. Services creatively explored ways congregants might arrive at the divine (ex: a Mardi Gras service with puppets inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins.) Lucas dabbles in music, theater, puppetry, playwriting, juggling, etc. He is a member of the Disciples of Christ Denomination, the First Christian Church of Oakland, and is a progressive Christian. He is partnered with Annie Gonzalez.
