Abstract

104 Anglican Theological Review 104(1) from Western/colonial definitions of thriving connected to excellence and success. Here, Reyes encourages the telling of liberative stories, of learning from the ancestors, of trust- ing what you know in your bones, and of adding intentional daily practices that promote health and happiness. He closes by inviting readers into three practices that might serve to close the purpose gap. As a white, midwestern, Protestant, there were many times Reyes’ words felt uncom- fortable. I forged ahead anyway, because I know it is necessary for white people to have their assumptions challenged. It pushed me in the best way and reminded me that it is incumbent upon white people to take down our defenses, to learn when to stop talking, and to listen with grace and humility. When we can do that, perhaps we can each “carry our corner,” thus doing our part to close the purpose gap, to welcome its closure, and to celebrate the thriving of all of humanity. KENDRA E.
