Lamenting Racism Participant Journal: A Christian Response to Racial Injustice

Stories of racial injustice fill our news feeds. Yet for too long many of us in the church have been hesitant to speak up. We fear offending others, using the wrong words, not knowing what to say. In Lamenting Racism, a team of leading pastors and theologians come together to lay the groundwork for important conversations about racism in your congregation. In six thought-provoking video sessions, they name that God's people of every race are called to confront racism in every way possible. Together this team invites each of us to consider and give voice to how we have been shaped and formed by race. Calling on us to reclaim the lost art of biblical lament, they offer a powerful way to pour out the fear, shame, grief, and rage of racism in prayer. In the process, we will be transformed, reclaiming hope for a world shaped by Gods inclusive vision of love and blessing. The Lamenting Racism Participant Journal guides you through learning the practice of biblical lament as a powerful tool to use in the church's struggle against racism. Book jacket.
