Race and the Church is a series promoted by the Azure Hills SDA Church, that seeks to engage and educate church members on racial frictions, both current and historic, that are preventing us from moving forward as one, united body with equal respect for all its members.
This series seeks to shine a light on the many ways racism touches all aspects of our lives, especially our church lives. How should Christians view racism? What should our stance be? Is unity necessary? Should we all believe the same things? What, if any, effects does race have on our spiritual lives? Let’s talk about it!
