Armas, K: Liturgies for Resisting Empire

Breaking Free from Empire in Our Daily Lives



Everyone wants to belong. But what does belonging--to God, ourselves, and each other--look like in the context of living within an empire and its ideologies?



In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American writer Kat Armas breaks down the images and idols of empire. She reveals how early Christians resisted the lies of empire by building communities of belonging and liberation that valued people over power, and she shows us how we can do the same today.



"A powerful roadmap for decolonizing faith and life. With prose that is both poetic and prophetic, Kat skillfully leads us through accessible liturgies that offer practical ways to resist empire's grip on our bodies, communities, and spirits. I especially loved how Liturgies for Resisting Empire offers a healing vision of belonging where Indigenous wisdom is honored and true kinship becomes possible in harmony with the whole community of creation."
