Details

Christina Edmondson, PhD, serves as a collaborating partner with the 91ÁÔÆæ, where she teaches courses, leads cohort learning groups, and offers web resources focused on faithful anti-racism initiatives for use in congregations, schools, and Christian non-profit organizations.

Christina and John discuss the challenges and opportunities of a lifelong commitment to learning about what race and racism is, how to critically and theologically discern issues of social stratification and a caste system which feed the sin of racism, and how Christians can remain rooted in the good news of Jesus and actively respond in ways that dismantle racism, especially in congregations and worshiping communities.
