Thanks for your encouraging comment, Jan. Subjects like these can be difficult to talk about because they make people uncomfortable, but nonetheless, we do need to talk about them so we can make change.

Thanks, Michele. It’s been uncanny how many directions God has taken that word. I look forward to the day when we’ll untangle some of these uncertainties (especially in the church).

That’s great about your new church, Nicole. I remember when we first switched to a multi-cultural church and how refreshing it felt! I totally agree with you that it’s easy to let “white” be the default for so many things without a second thought. 🙁

Great question, Karen. The premise definitely applies to all minorities. The author Danté Stewart of this book Shoutin’ in the Fire was writing from his own personal perspective as a Black man.
