This book is an interdisciplinary exploration of the intertwining impact of violent trauma culture and power through case studies of two ministries serving in different demographic contexts within the United States. Mass shootings continue to rise in the United States including in religious and school contexts and the U.S. also is ground zero for the now international Black Lives Matter movement. The author shows how all forms of violent trauma impact more than individuals -devastating communal relationships and practices of religious or spiritual meaning-making in the aftermath and assesses how these impacts differ according to lived experiences with culture and power. Looking at the two ministries an urban grassroots lay ministry organization that serves surviving family members in the aftermath of homicide and a denominational ministry that served a church in the aftermath of a political and religiously motivated shooting the author develops trauma-specific interdisciplinary tools for lived religion studies. This book powerfully utilizes an intersectional lens to highlight the inter-interconnections to be found for those working in faith communities as well as mental health. Walsh provides the reader with an opportunity to explore and develop theoretical and practice perspectives that include: race and ethnicity religion and spirituality social class and ability sexual orientation immigration and refugee status and explores the impact that oppression and discrimination have on our communities and society. I highly recommend this book for those who are engaged in working to combat domination at the local national and global levels. - Gary Bailey Simmons College USA
