Book Synopsis Christian Sisterhood, Race Relations, and the YWCA, 1906-46 by : Nancy Marie Robertson
Download or read book Christian Sisterhood, Race Relations, and the YWCA, 1906-46 written by Nancy Marie Robertson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the major national biracial women's organization, the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) provided a unique venue for women to respond to American race relations during the first half of the twentieth century. In Christian Sisterhood, Race Relations, and the YWCA, 1906-46, Nancy Marie Robertson shows how women of both races employed different understandings of "Christian sisterhood" in their responses. Although the YWCA was segregated at the local level, African American women were able to effectively challenge white women over YWCA racial policies and practices. Robertson argues that from 1906 through 1946, many white women in the association went from seeing segregation as compatible with Christianity and democracy to regarding it as a contradiction of those values. These struggles laid the groundwork for the subsequent civil rights movement. Her analysis relies not only on a large body of records documenting YWCA women at the national and local levels, but also on autobiographical accounts and personal papers from women associated with the YWCA, including Dorothy Height, Lugenia Burns Hope, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, and Lillian Smith. A volume in the series Women in American History, edited by Anne Firor Scott, Susan Armitage, Susan K. Cahn, and Deborah Gray White
Book Synopsis Race and Restoration by : Barclay Key
Download or read book Race and Restoration written by Barclay Key and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late nineteenth century to the dawn of the civil rights era, the Churches of Christ operated outside of conventional racial customs. Many of their congregations, even deep in the South, counted whites and blacks among their numbers. As the civil rights movement began to challenge pervasive social views about race, Church of Christ leaders and congregants found themselves in the midst of turmoil. In Race and Restoration: Churches of Christ and the Black Freedom Struggle, Barclay Key focuses on how these churches managed race relations during the Jim Crow era and how they adapted to the dramatic changes of the 1960s. Although most religious organizations grappled with changing attitudes toward race, the Churches of Christ had singular struggles. Fundamentally “restorationist,” these exclusionary churches perceived themselves as the only authentic expression of Christianity, compelling them to embrace peoples of different races, even as they succumbed to prevailing racial attitudes. The Churches of Christ thus offer a unique perspective for observing how Christian fellowship and human equality intersected during the civil rights era. Key reveals how racial attitudes and practices within individual congregations elude the simple categorizations often employed by historians. Public forums, designed by churches to bridge racial divides, offered insight into the minds of members while revealing the limited progress made by individual churches. Although the Churches of Christ did have a more racially diverse composition than many other denominations in the Jim Crow era, Key shows that their members were subject to many of the same aversions, prejudices, and fears of other churches of the time. Ironically, the tentative biracial relationships that had formed within and between congregations prior to World War II began to dissolve as leading voices of the civil rights movement prioritized desegregation.

Book Synopsis Blacks and Whites in Christian America by : Jason E. Shelton
Download or read book Blacks and Whites in Christian America written by Jason E. Shelton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom holds that Christians, as members of a “universal” religion, all believe more or less the same things when it comes to their faith. Yet black and white Christians differ in significant ways, from their frequency of praying or attending services to whether they regularly read the Bible or believe in Heaven or Hell. In this engaging and accessible sociological study of white and black Christian beliefs, Jason E. Shelton and Michael O. Emerson push beyond establishing that there are racial differences in belief and practice among members of American Protestantism to explore why those differences exist. Drawing on the most comprehensive and systematic empirical analysis of African American religious actions and beliefs to date, they delineate five building blocks of black Protestant faith which have emerged from the particular dynamics of American race relations. Shelton and Emerson find that America’s history of racial oppression has had a deep and fundamental effect on the religious beliefs and practices of blacks and whites across America.

Book excerpt: In The Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby takes readers back to the roots of sustained racism and injustice in the American church. Filled with powerful stories and examples of American Christianity's racial past, Tisby's historical narrative highlights the obvious ways people of faith have actively worked against racial justice, as well as the complicit silence of racial moderates. Identifying the cultural and institutional tables that must be flipped to bring about progress, Tisby provides an in-depth diagnosis for a racially divided American church and suggests ways to foster a more equitable and inclusive environment among God's people.

Book Synopsis Slavery's Long Shadow by : James L. Gorman
Download or read book Slavery's Long Shadow written by James L. Gorman and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How interactions of race and religion have influenced unity and division in the church At the center of the story of American Christianity lies an integral connection between race relations and Christian unity. Despite claims that Jesus Christ transcends all racial barriers, the most segregated hour in America is still Sunday mornings when Christians gather for worship. In Slavery’s Long Shadow fourteen historians and other scholars examine how the sobering historical realities of race relations and Christianity have created both unity and division within American churches from the 1790s into the twenty-first century. The book’s three sections offer readers three different entry points into the conversation: major historical periods, case studies, and ways forward. Historians as well as Christians interested in racial reconciliation will find in this book both help for understanding the problem and hope for building a better future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the Truth about Race Relations in America and Unite as Christians before it's to Late . . . .If you claim that you are not aware of the deep and jagged rift in society called 'racial tension' you are either lying or living in LaLa Land-no disrespect intended. I say this because it is impossible to hear and see the world realistically without knowing that racial tension is a real thing. The mistrust and hostility between people groups is tangible-and sadly, I mean that in the most literal sense of the word. We didn't 'invent' the concept. God did when He destined Ishmael's and Esau's descendants to forever be in contention with everyone else. (Genesis 16 and 27)The fact that God allowed the 'birth' of hostility between races...even set it into motion...can be confusing. It can even seem contradictory to everything else we know about God-but it isn't. God cannot contradict Himself and He cannot and does not make mistakes. REMEMBER: just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it is wrong. God's treatment of and pronouncements on Ishmael and Esau are a) disciplinary and b) part of God's plan to deal with the sins of the world and of his chosen people. Besides, when it comes right down to it, who can possibly fully know the mind of God? (Romans 11:34) Why would we even try? The point to be made here is that racial tensions and hostilities exist and always will, because sin exists. But just as it is with every other kind of sin, as Christians we need to resist the sin of racism (which is nothing more than hate) and work to come together as best we can...which brings me to the purpose of this book. Within the pages of this book you will find Biblical and more modern-day narratives of racial problems along with the lessons we should learn from them; lessons that will make us more like Jesus by loving others as we love ourselves and as Jesus loves us.We will be starting with one of the earliest incidents of racial hostility and move forward to the world we live in. In doing so, my hope and prayer is that you will use these experiences to inspire and challenge you to do your part in unifying the Body of Christ in Faith through the Blood of Jesus Christ.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Ham, Ishmael & EsauChapter 2: From Slave to RulerChapter 3: PerspectiveChapter 4: Not Our CallChapter 5: BEWAREChapter 6: Civil War?Chapter 7: Genocide & DemocideChapter 8: The DreamChapter 9: One More Look BackChapter 10: Think About It

Download or read book The Death of Race written by Brian Bantum and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Bantum says that race is not merely an intellectual category or a biological fact. Much like the incarnation, it is a Òword made flesh,Ó the confluence of various powers that allow some to organize and dominate the lives of others. In this way racism is a deeply theological problem, one that is central to the Christian story and one that plays out daily in the United States and throughout the world. In The Death of Race, Bantum argues that our attempts to heal racism will not succeed until we address what gives rise to racism in the first place: a fallen understanding of our bodies that sees difference as something to resist, defeat, or subdue. Therefore, he examines the question of race, but through the lens of our bodies and what our bodies mean in the midst of a complicated, racialized world, one that perpetually dehumanizes dark bodies, thereby rendering all of us less than God's intention.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person. Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act. Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution.
