Institutional Violence: Organized Religion

Compose a two-page essay on the following, answering each part of the prompt:
INSTITUTIONAL VIOLENCE: ORGANIZED RELIGION
Identify how this institution can perpetuate systems of interlocking oppressions
(sexism, racism, class oppression, heterosexism, ableism, transphobia, etc.)
• Suggest ways in which people working inside these institutions might act to
transform those values into ones that no longer ignore, silence, or in other ways
injure groups who are now targeted, which can include women, people of color,
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, poor people, and disabled people.
• Make sure that your essay contains a brief introduction that re-states the main
idea/question and a conclusion which returns to it. The body of the essay will
cite evidence from the readings to support your answer.
PLEASE NOTE:
Be sure to cite authors and titles of essays as you introduce them into your argument.
This means you should both note the reading in the text and include a bibliography
with entries from the readings, you cited at the end of your paper.
Conclude the essay with correct bibliographic entries, using APA or MLA formatting.
