MULTI/RACISM

In his book, An Unstoppable Force, Erwin McManus writes, “Jesus came and destroyed the dividing wall that not only separated man from God but also Jew from Gentile. God is about destroying walls that divide. The church will gain traction in the multicultural environment when she begins to dismantle the walls created not by the hands of God but by our own hands. Sometimes this will require nothing less than confession of the sin of racism and prejudice and the kind of repentance that leads to change. It isn’t enough to go to church with a diverse world; God calls us to embrace those who are different as brothers and sisters.”

The AfroFuture Fest music festival in Detroit proposed to charge white people twice as much for a ticket as black people. “Calling it the People of Color ticket,” it was advertised for $10 while the “Non People of Color ticket” was $20. After objections from customers and performers, including biracial rapper Tiny Jag, organizers scrapped the two-tier pricing but said that “Non-POC individuals are encouraged to provide additional donations.”

In this time of high racial tension each of us should strive to see every person just as Jesus sees them. As children have sung for decades, He doesn’t see us as red, brown, yellow, black, or white. He sees us as brothers and sisters. –Jim L. Wilson and Rodger Russell.
