Insights is an interview show featuring members of the ARC community. This week our guest is Taj M. Smith, Assistant Director of GLEAN Network.
Taj M. Smith is a Christian and a transman. He did not grow up Christian. He saw Christianity being used to hurt people all around him and learned of its deep roots in colonialism and oppression. He fell in love with it though, after seeing the power of people gathered at church to create change with the message of love and community on their lips. Ever since, he's been invested in liberating Christianity from those who would wield it as a weapon.
He recently graduated from Harvard Divinity School, where he spent a lot of time writing long sentences with long words. He appreciates words, so he now dedicates his time to writing them in smaller, more succinct forms that are pleasing to both the eye and the ear.
He is an avid sci-fi lover and a long-time musician. He also really likes hats.
