127 What about Other Marginalized Communities and Beings? Grace Y. Kao Mary Fulkerson has written a beautiful chapter on the potential that Christian worship, in general, and the central ritual of communion or Eucharist, in par- ticular, holds for embodied expressions of faith, hope, and love. I appreciated her attention to various “forms of brokenness in church and world,” the ways our “bodily habituations” reflect our status in society (or lack thereof ) and rein- scribe it, and the dangers that the “wound” of colorblindness holds for authentic healing and community. As a fellow feminist, I also welcomed her offering of specific examples, whether models or failures, of the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love in practice and found myself concurring that the life wit- ness and ministries of Sarah Miles and Pauli Murray are worthy of emulation. 33 My specific questions to Fulkerson move in two discrete directions and are more exploratory than critical in nature, in ways that gently query and expand the boundaries of her work. The first takes its point of departure from her description of the Eucharist as a liturgy of love that is “directed toward all of God’s creation.” 34 The question here is just how inclusive Fulkerson intends for repeat performances of the rite to be or become—is her inclusivity only or primarily directed toward the great diversity of human beings or does her reference to creation create space for a broader kind of expansiveness? The second arguably hews closer to the heart of her chapter and concerns her lament for racial division in the church and larger society. The question here is whether Fulkerson’s critique of enduring racial segregation is only or primarily directed toward historically white churches in the United States, or if the logic of her argument should be brought to bear on racially homogenous non-white churches as well. In what follows I will unpack these two questions in turn while interlacing my own thoughts on such matters. Faith, Hope, Love, and Justice : The Theological Virtues Today, edited by Anselm K.
