Four church leaders explore race relations in the church and society. Fletch and Mike Gould will be joined by XPs Nicholas Smith and Tim Samuel. First we listened to Nick and Tim share perspectives from people in their communities.
Then, explore how deeply rooted bigotry is. At both a personal and corporate level, what can be done? The bottom line is that we all need help to understand the perspectives of those in another culture or of a different skin color.
Is “Blackout Tuesday” the best answer? What can the church do to help in this turbulent time in American culture? Four friends explore both what to do and what to avoid.
