"Color: God's Intention for Diversity"

Below is a video of a really good conversation about race.  It is a conversation between the Rev'd. Dr. Daniel Gomis, Director of the African Region of the Church of the Nazarene, and the Rev'd. Dr. Carla Sunberg, General Superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene.  It is moderated by Rev'd. Stuart Williams.  The conversation is a preview of the upcoming book, "Color: God's Intention for Diversity," co-authored by Dr. Gomis and Bishop Sunberg.

Not only is race and racism a huge issue in our American setting, but so too is the promotion of a proposed solution known as Critical Race Theory.  Many in the academy and leadership within the Church have embraced (uncritically?) Critical Race Theory.  Others have completely rejected CRT as being antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  So, I was looking forward to listening to this conversation to hear if one of our episcopal leaders would be taking up the CRT banner or not.  What I heard was refreshing and gospel centric.

I have already pre-ordered the book, and I am looking forward to getting it when it is available.  -  You can order the book, here.

Thank you, Bishop Sunberg and Dr. Gomis!
