Join us as Pastor Carl leads a class and conversation about American church theologies and their past and present relationship to issues of race. We will talk about theologies that claim biblical warrant for race theories, including theories of racial superiority, and we will talk about “personal-salvation” and “salvation-as-afterlife-only” theologies that do not address issues of communal sin and redemption, the fallenness and redemption of interconnected humanity and every facet of its civilizations, and the brokenness and re-creation of the world and everything in it. We also will touch on histories of American churches that have contributed to and stood against race-based oppression, as well as the phenomenon of racially bounded churches, including “Asian American” churches.
