Roles: A Decolonized Faith

Faith & Race

Every system has roles. In football, it's quarterbacks and receivers, linemen and tight ends, coaches and referees, fans and commentators. As we conclude our Faith & Race series, Sandra Maria Van Opstal joins us to talk about roles in the Church, how they've been racialized, and what it looks like to decolonize our faith.

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!

Why is it so hard for the Church to live as Jesus in the world? Why such a sharp divide between the love and mercy of God and the way Christians interact with each other and the world? The Revelation offers us a powerful picture of who the Church is called to be: a reflection of Jesus in the world. By listening to them with pictures of Jesus from John’s gospel, we see a clear picture of who we are called to be.

How can the Church be a faithful reflection of Jesus in the world?
