Podcast appearances and mentions of elle dowd

“[T]he solemnity of Christ the King was fairly recently established by Pope Pius the 11th in 1925 in response to the increasing threat of the rise of fascism in Europe leading up to World War II. At the time, authoritarian leaders of fascist regimes were being lifted up as all powerful demigods, and the Roman Catholic Church created this holy day in an attempt to reclaim power for the church. If this feast tells us anything, it's this: Fascism is diametrically opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Reign of Jesus Christ stands in strong opposition to the death-dealing policies of tyrants and fascists.” Rev. Elle Dowd

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! In this episode, we've got a special guest on the podcast who continues to challenge how I conceive of advocacy, organizing, and what self-care means. Pastor Elle Dowd (she/they) and I spend some time getting into her book, Baptized in Tear Gas: From White Moderate to Abolitionist, the vulnerability that one grapples with when documenting their journey, and the responsibility that comes with writing about and depicting others. We also get into accountability, responsibility, and the power of embracing change as we evolve as humans committed to effecting change in the world. Elle also offers their perspective on when "staying in your lane" is an appropriate course of action in activism and shares her own healing experience that she's still in the thick of at the moment. We also get into bodies, healing from EDs, and somatic healing. And we reflect on what it means to transition from intellectualizing growth and actually doing the thing, and how important self-care is for collective wellness and the revolution we are building together. If you're someone who is thick in healing and trying to figure out what it means to embrace change and accountability, this one is for you. Elle Dowd's Facebook Page. Elle Dowd's website.

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

In this raw and thought-provoking memoir, Dowd brings us on her journey though the Ferguson uprising into abolition. For years Elle Dowd considered herself an advocate for justice, but her well-meaning support always took a back burner to what Martin Luther King Jr. called the tension-free, ordered "negative peace" of white moderates. Then Michael Brown, a Black man, was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent Uprising changed everything. In Baptized in Tear Gas: From White Moderate to Abolitionist (Broadleaf Books, 2021), minister and activist Elle Dowd tells the gripping story of her transformation into an Assata Shakur-reading, courthouse-occupying abolitionist with an arrest record, hungry for the revolution. Thanks to deep relationships with people in Ferguson and St. Louis, and to experiencing a fraction of the system for herself--including the fear of rubber bullets, the shock of sound cannons, and running from tear gas--Dowd fully committed to the work of anti-racism and abolition. Now she wants to help other white allies do the same. Like in baptism, this transformation requires parts of us to die: our lack of power analysis, our commitment to white niceness, our tone policing, our respectability politics--all of those impulses we have been socialized by since birth must die so that something new can be resurrected in our lives and in the world. The uprising in Ferguson changed Dowd, and through it, God made her into something new. Now it's our turn.

Abolition cannot happen without being intentional about creating a deep community. We often hear that our liberation is bound up in the liberation of our neighbor. But what exactly does that mean and how do we get there? In this episode, in conversation with Rev. Elle Dowd and Alonzo Waheed, we will wrestle with what it means to be in a deep community. How do we work at building community in ways that center accountability instead of perpetuating logics of punishment? How do we create community cultures that promote both self and collective care? How do we practice mutual aid as an act of solidarity (redistributing our resources within a community)? -- RESOURCES Baptized in Teargas, Rev.

She is a bi-furious recent graduate of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and a candidate for ordained ministry in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The three of us talk about going from being a white moderate to a liberation minded abolitionist and how we can help support each other in the fight for justice for all.

Elle Dowd is a powerhouse for all good things.  Wife, mother, student, interferer, activist, clergy and purveyor of bold lips and a lip ring. Elle and her husband, Adam, came into my sphere during what is now being remembered as the Ferguson Uprising. In this turbulent time, I met many people, heard of more people, under the scariest of circumstances! I came across Elle through Twitter, and followed her through Facebook! When I heard that she had written a book, I knew two things:  I needed to read it and she needed to be on this platform!  As Elle is a member of the clergy, and I am a woman of faith, the conversation does delve into faith, the power of it, and how what we know s modern-Christianity glosses over needed issues relating to social justice, racism, and even how we as the Body of Christ gloss over how Christ was killed by the state.  From speaking about John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dr. Traci Blackmon and James Cone, Elle makes room in this conversation to have harder conversations. Why? The are needed and necessary. Baptized In Tear Gas is available August 10.

Elle Dowd joins us to chat about a reformation sexual ethic, loving ourselves FOR our uniqueness, and what it means to drink from the fountain of a new understanding of being.    For years Elle Dowd considered herself an advocate for justice, but her well-meaning support always took a back burner to what Martin Luther King Jr. called the tension-free, ordered "negative peace" of white moderates. Then Michael Brown, a Black man, was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent Uprising changed everything.   Like in baptism, this transformation requires parts of us to die: our lack of power analysis, our commitment to white niceness, our tone policing, our respectability politics--all of those impulses we have been socialized by since birth must die so that something new can be resurrected in our lives and in the world. The uprising in Ferguson changed Dowd, and through it, God made her into something new.    To get in touch with Elle and to keep up with updates,  you can visit her website www.elledowd.com and subscribe to her newsletter.    You can also see her online ministry via Facebook.com/elledowdministry  or follow her on Twitter/SnapChat/Insta @hownowbrowndowd  or on TikTok @elledowdministry  Pre-order Elle's book “Baptized in Tear Gas: From White Moderate to Abolitionist” https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9781506470429/Baptized-in-Tear-Gas  If you are interested in helping Conversations Official continue to create spiritual minded conversations about life, please subscribe to the podcast and share it on your social media.  If you would like to contribute financially, you can visit https://www.patreon.com/Conversationsofficial​ to establish a monthly contribution or https://www.buymeacoffee.com/convosofficial to drop off a one time donation.  Currently donations and merchandise sales are being used to obtain captioning and transcription services to make the podcast and videos more accessible.  For more Conversations Official check out conversationsofficial.com  or on social media at  Facebook.com/conversationsofficial  Facebook: Conversations Official Group  Instagram: Conversations_Official  Twitter: Convosofficial  Discord https://discord.gg/ySaxMxh7W3​ TikTok spirituallynbleowt

If I were to guess, I'd say that Rev.
