If you are aiming for “racial reconciliation,” Christians, intersectionality, Critical Race Theory and Liberation Theology will not get you there. Their purpose is to deconstruct & divide, but they can never build up & bring together.
How do you know your church is preaching these things? If the teaching assigns guilt & innocence, responsibility & victimhood, collectively based on skin color. If repentance is only demanded based on race. If “justice” is defined as the world defines it rather than how God does.
If Jesus is characterized as a social revolutionary rather than a savior with a revolutionary gospel that frees both the societal oppressor & the societally oppressed from sin. If your pastor simply repeats mainstream narratives about systemic racism rather than the facts.
Most importantly—if the gospel is not presented as the one thing with the power to a) reconcile us to a holy God and b) unify people of all backgrounds and ethnicities.
If you want to be truly “anti-racist” do 2 things: Love God, & love your neighbor as yourself.
