"The Myth of Equality; God’s Vision for a Multicultural Church"

Is privilege real or imagined? It’s clear that issues of race and equality have come to the forefront in our nation’s consciousness. Every week yet another incident involving racial tension splashes across headlines and dominates our news feeds. But it’s not easy to unpack the origins of these tensions, and perhaps we wonder whether any of these issues really has anything to do with us. Inequality and privilege are real. This conversation helps open our eyes to realities we may have never realized were present in our society and world. And we will be changed for the better as a result.

The one-day symposium is hosted by bwin体育大学's Diversity & Inclusion, Center for Student Engagement and the CCO.

Registration is now closed.

主题演讲#1 - 肯Wytsma

“平等的神话”

Skye Lounge, Student Center

Scripture tells us that God’s good news is for all the nations. 种族和民族, 因此, are a part of the vision of the New Jerusalem and a reality and blessing for the church today. 种族和民族, 然而, have also presented challenges along the way from the first New Testament Church to the church’s complicity in racism in the shaping of the modern world and in the history of the United States.

Can we honestly face our past, take ownership for creating new narratives, and be a part of Christ's reconciling work in the world today? Join us as we take an encouraging look at why race belongs in our gospel conversations.

分组讨论#1

  • "Undivided" Embracing Oneness as a Christian Community
    发言人: 牧师. 布莱恩·K. 爬 S & E 022

    While most Christians understand theologically the implications of Eph. 2:15, "One New People," many do not live out the practical realities of "Oneness." This breakout session will describe and discuss local efforts toward obedience to Jesus' intent for "Oneness as a Christian Community."

  • 对话与多样性
    发言人: Karla Threadgill Byrd President's Dining Room, Alexander Dining Hall

    What are your thoughts on diversity and multiculturalism? What role does Jesus play in the conversation? Does our understanding and practice align with his work in the earth? Is it apparent in the bwin体育大学 environment? Are you open to conversation on the topic of diversity and multiculturalism? Let's share our thoughts and talk.

  • The Journey to Understanding: Unpacking Our Racial Identities
    发言人: 贾斯汀K. 穆 Skye Lounge, Student Center

    Have you ever thought about what it means to be white? To be a person of color? Come join this interactive session, where we will explore and work through Janet Helms’ People of Color and White racial identity development models. 在本次会议上, participants will be able to reflect and share their story of their own racial identity development while also identifying ways they can promote healthier dialogue around race.
