Artefacts: Monuments

Faith & Race

All systems are comprised of physical artefacts. As we begin our exploration of systemic racism in America, we investigate the Confederate monuments we're removing all over the country. How should persons of faith understand this issue, and more importantly: how does that illuminate how the artefacts in our daily lives are racialized too?

From Series: "Faith & Race"

It seems as though everyone is talking about Race these days. That can be a difficult conversation for people of faith - especially if we want to do more than feel better. What does it look like for a people of faith to resist systemic racism? During this series, we'll explore how racism is systemic and what a faith-filled response can look like. Join us for a month of justice work!

When you think of idol, you think of a little statue. But idols can be anything that distracts or distances us from God. During Lent, we’re going to look at some of the most popular idols in our culture. We’ll see what they are, and how they pull us away from God. We’ll also discover the better way God calls us to. Join us as we discover the identities of these American gods, and turn from them to follow the one and only true God.

So who are these American Gods?
