Study Session: Matters of Racial Injustice, Part 1 | Graham Aitken | theHeart Boone
Channel: theHeart Boone
Date: 2020-11-11

In the first of a two-week discussion focused on Matters of Racial Injustice, Graham Aitken, Pastor of Outreach & Mobilization at theHeart, shares his thoughts on how we can continue to engage this important conversation well. This Study Session also includes a short interview with Jemar Tisby, one of the leading evangelical voices on matters of race in the church.  

Study Sessions are designed to provide some practical and tangible methods for spiritual formation. And while these short videos are not meant to be comprehensive, they hopefully provide the viewer with some useful practices that will lead to a deepening of faith.

Here are some questions to get the conversation started:
-- Do you agree with Tisby that in general there has been little material change in the condition of the human heart as it pertains to matters of race? Why or why not? Is there a distinct difference here between those who identify as Christian and those who do not?
--Tisby sees a tendency on the part of the Church to withdraw from culture at times in order to avoid the complex challenges inherent in the broken systems of our world. Do you see this as fair or unfair? What examples have you seen of the Church engaging well? Where can we continue to improve?
--Tisby is encouraged by the momentum that is building within our society and the growing awareness of systemic issues that he feels need our attention. Do you agree that there is still a long way to go on matters of racial injustice? Or do you feel that the race conversation has been exhausted? Where do you see evidence of forward progress in society?
