This course is specifically designed for White-identifying Christians to preserve the integrity of the content, its impact on participants, and to encourage open and honest exchange. We will delve into the biblical and theological perspectives of racism, exploring this familiar subject using themes that the Church seldomly addresses.
about the course
Course Themes:
-
Racism is a sin and spiritual issue, not the social justice construct that society purports.
-
Black and White Christians need to address racism from different angles because both people groups have different heart issues to contend with.
-
What is White Christian Nationalism, and how does it affect predominately White churches?
-
What are the oppressive and interconnected systems of racism, and what role(s) do White Christians play in un/knowingly upholding them?
-
What scripturally-based and secular techniques can White Christians employ to become antiracist?
