Description

Kyle Worley and Rebecca McLaughlin are joined by Justin Giboney to have a conversation about how Christians view diversity. Questions Covered in This Episode:What led you to the work you do now with the And Campaign?What would you have said to my 2008 UK self, trying to navigate that seemingly Christian values were evenly distributed between two options?Don’t Christians oppose ethnic and cultural diversity?What kind of diversity should the Christian community consider as a part of its pursuit? Are there limits on what that entails?How can we help people understand that there are different kinds of diversity?How do you respond to people who say “there is only one race”? Is that a helpful framework?It does seem like within the church, there are competing visions for dealing with the history of Christian complicity in rejecting people outside the majority. What do you do when you have a group of Christians who are trying to live in the tension of conviction and compassion and they see the pathway forward differently from each other?How do we navigate that well when we all come to the table with very different feelings about the table?If a young white evangelical Christian came to you and said “I’ve got to leave the church, do you know how complicit Christians have been in the history of racism in this country?” How would you respond?Is the perception that the present reality of the black church in america looks very different when it comes to some of the most important moral issues. Is that perception true or misleading?Help us understand why people think that black americans / black Christians would vote democrat and would therefore have more progressive views? How do we not fall for this misleading characterization that the black church is at heart progressive in anti-scriptural sense?What continues to compel you to move forward?Guest Bio:Justin Giboney is co-founder of the And Campaign, an attorney, a political strategist, a host on the Church Politics Podcast, and one of the co-authors of the book Compassion and Conviction.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Revelation 7And Campaign“Reading While Black” by Esau McCaulleyAmazon affiliate links are used where appropriate.
