Do you remember all the things your mother said you shouldn’t discuss at the dinner table? Well, we are talking about all of them, and adding a few to the list.  In advance of each week’s sermon, I’ll be posting daily (or so) links to resources that have helped me think like a Christian on the week’s topics.

Brian Bantum is smart, and I was blessed to have him as a teacher when I was in seminary. As we continue to think about racial identity, I hope you’ll take time to read this letter to his son on what it means, theologically, to be “multi-racial.”

If being post-racial means anything, perhaps it is this: that we are always at home, and we are never home. If being a Christian means anything, it is that we are always at home, and we are never home, and because of this, the exclusion and the refusals we so often endure are never the entirety of our lives.
