Gospel Conversations about Race/Ethnicity in Your Church Community 

One of Martin Luther King’s most famous quotes is that “the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.” While there has been much progress since King said this, the sad truth is that those words still ring true over fifty years later. Numerous events in recent years have increasingly revealed a church in America that is largely divided over issues related to race/ethnicity. How can Christians engage with one another on such an explosive topic that is fraught with landmines on every side? In this workshop, Shai Linne will discuss how to address this subject in our churches in ways that promote gospel centrality, biblical fidelity and Christian charity.
