What does it mean for a faith community to move beyond reform and into transformation? In a world shaped by punishment, surveillance, and family separation, abolition calls us to imagine something more radical than band-aid fixes to broken systems; abolition calls us to build entirely new ways of living together. We will consider how churches and congregations can become sites of repair, accountability, and collective liberation.
