“Becoming Anti-Racist: Reflections from a White Christian on the Sin of Racism”
Dr. Emily Reimer-Barry will discuss the sin of racism from the perspective of a white Christian who needs to both “learn” and “unlearn” in the journey of becoming anti-racist. The talk will point out how Christianity remains complicit in racism in its construction of theology about God and some of its pastoral practices. So in addition to framing the task of “becoming anti-racist” as a personal commitment, the talk will also explain how “becoming anti-racist” is an ecclesial commitment for white Christians.
