Influenced by such luminaries as Daniel Berrigan and Flannery O’Connor, Blaine-Wallace offers a fresh construction of lament as fundamentally relational. He asks, “If your tears could speak, what would they say?” When sorrow and suffering are voiced in community, solidarity emerges. The art of lament is the act of bringing more of our lived experience into congregational and communal life. Lament, then, is not the episodic cry of, for, and with those among us who hurt at a specific time for a particular reason – that is the purview of important grief work and responsive pastoral care. Rather, lament is the means for a more relational life together; it is, at heart, ecclesiological.
