How do we seek out our own blind spots in regard to prejudice, biases, or racism? What questions should we be asking?
What particular story of racial injustice has affected you the most?
How do you dialogue/engage a Christian who is not ready to have conversations about racism in their life and in the life of the church? Is this different from not being ready to have conversations about abuse (caring well), pornography, etc.?
Ethnic Conciliation Mission Statement
Affirming Imago Dei (every human life bears the image of God) and through biblical community relationships, we strive to confront the sin of racism. Grounded in the truth and hope of God’s Word, we press into hard conversations asking, listening, and learning about experiences beyond our own to gain a deeper understanding from our marginalized brothers and sisters in faith. We commit to learning individually and collectively from Scripture, each other, and other resources that speak directly to racial issues, inequalities, and injustices. We will use our voices in our circles of influence to speak the truth to policies, institutions, and individuals concerning racism. Finally, we recognize our utter dependence on God’s grace and strength for this journey in seeking to walk together more effectively, and that His Glory through His son Jesus is our greatest calling.
