The Church and Racism Episode #1
Jan 15, 2021
Summary
This episode begins and addresses the church's complicity in racism over the history of America. We begin with the effort to colonize the land and the decisions that were made that helped establish racism as an institution in the developing country. We look in broad strokes at slavery in scripture and in the Roman Empire during the time of Jesus. We look in depth at two passages from the Apostle Paul: 1 Corinthians 7:20-24 and Philemon. Running through the class is the theme of baptism: what it means and who it makes us. Thank you for joining us!
