Racial Healing In The Church Begins With Truth-Telling.

You are not alone. Most churches are still segregated, which means, predominantly white churches (including Pastors) have no interest in racial healing and reconciliation. Consequently, you must begin to learn the nuances of racism and begin to seek out like-minded believers to study and grow with.

Typically, when there is an area in our life that needs healing, touching it hurts. The guilt is an indication of an area that needs healing. As believers, we learn to press into the reason for our sensitivity and allow healing to take place through honest, truthful, and non-judgmental discussions.

I've heard this response many times. What I've discovered is that you may not be a racist, but are you an "Anti-Racist?" The difference is that an anti-racist recognizes the inequities and systemic nature of racism and is concerned with how to change the systems that have been created.
