The History and Persistence of Racism Within the Christian Church
January 29, 2023 @ 9:45 am - 10:45 am
The Facing Systemic Racism Committee invites you to join us on Sunday, January 29, for the second part of our series, The History and Persistence of Racism within the Christian Church, led by University of Pittsburgh professor and lecturer, Dr. Brock Bahler.
Comments following the first presentation included:
- I’ve been Christian all my life. Why didn’t I know this history?
- What else don’t I know about my faith in general as well as the Presbyterian denomination?
- How is ELPC implicated in that history? What now?
Dr. Bahler will speak to the intentional codification of racism within the church and how the church continues to perpetuate—and benefits from—white supremacy. His lecture will be followed by a small group discussion of the content, as well as consideration of next steps for ELPC.
The presentation will be held during the Church School hour, immediately following Journey worship in the Social Hall and on Zoom.
