ANCIENT WOKE PREACHER CLIPS: Dr. Jonathan Tran of Baylor University is talking "white theology," "whiteness," "centering," and more in this ***2009*** lecture (his bio says he joined Baylor in '06) titled "Why Asian American Christianity Has No Future":

"We need to always remember that Christianity isn't Christianity + you Christians don't do amazing things because your expectation is that the world *will* come to an end, but rather...because you believe, in Christ, the world *has* come to an end..."

"To be American is to be racialized...to be understood as a Race-American: African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American...You would be very hard-pressed to say what exactly it is that makes you Asian-American but you know for certain you are not black, Mexican or white."

2 examples of communal guilt, individual repentance: Numbers 21:4-9 and Acts 2:36-39, 3:17-19, 26.

In both of these cases, collective guilt is declared or implied (“we sinned,” “what shall we do?”), but the solution is a cumulative yet individual repentance.

In the Hebrew for “when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake,” the word for “anyone” is ’îš -- translated elsewhere as “a man,” “each man,” or “one man.” biblehub.com/hebrew/ish_376…

In both Acts 2:38 and 3:26, the Greek is hekastos, again, “each one,” “each of you” or “every one.” biblehub.com/greek/ekastos_…

The Acts 2 passage is particularly important because it is one of the few examples of scripture touching on this topic after the cross + the resurrection.

Found a panel from 2018's PasCon with Jarvis Williams + Matt Hall, made public last November. This is before either of them became controversial, so they're...more at ease, is one way to say it.

Jarvis: "You can have racism operating in a context where there are no individual racists, and that, in part. is the way in which white supremacy works, in a socially sophisticated way."

David Bailey: "In many ways, we can't even fully understand who God is unless we have a multiethnic, multicultural, socio-economically diverse, diverse genders expression of understanding who God is."

World Vision "May We Be One" Session 11

"Race in the U.S. guides, impacts people's lives at almost every level...Certain people who are part of certain groups have certain types of jobs, and people of other racial groups have other types of jobs."

Dr. Korie Little Edwards

At this point, the narrative is so old hat, I'd pay good money to hear what this crowd thinks ISN'T affected by racial determinism.

"Pastors of color have to really deal with people considering them illegitimate authorities...white pastors, that is not something they really have to navigate...They still have to navigate white hegemony...but 1 thing they do have is they're perceived as legitimate authorities."

Got a tip on Zeal Church, a megachurch in CO. Here, pastor Brandon Cormier brings LEOs on stage to pray for "the good ones" among police, then drops a line that "it's really difficult for white people to go to churches that are pastored by black people."

Then, a live straw poll of the congregation on questions of race... (1/2)

Probably a great way to collect people's phone numbers for comms/marketing. (2/2)

Tyler Burns, the new president of The Witness BCC, says his Christian school gave him "no answers" on these topics (at least in his first year):

-black people
-how to treat the poor
-criminal justice
-the Obamas
-the least of these

"Why doesn't the church center black voices? Can the church talk about black issues without centering voices, and I'm not just talking about on a stage. What about our theology? What about our leadership? What about our ecclesiology?"
