A Free Webinar from:

Is Anti-Racism the Jesus Way?

__________________________________

Racism, as a symptom of the brokenness of humanity and a reflection of the systemic failures embedded in our nation's history, is an unavoidable aspect of American culture. At Missio Alliance, we believe that if you want to see justice and flourishing for all people, it’s not enough to be passively “not racist"—you must be actively anti-racist.

For followers of Jesus, this begs the question: how do we face the racial disparities and injustices in a manner that is modeled after our Savior?

In this free webinar, you will learn:

  • Different ways that Christians have responded to issues of race in America
  • What Jesus' own actions model for his followers concerning race and ethnicity
  • What it means to seek the Jesus Way at all times, and specifically in regards to race

(or to watch on-demand at a later date).

This webinar is intended for church leaders and individuals striving to embrace the way of Jesus in today’s complex culture. It is a co-production of Missio Alliance and Herald Press.
