White Church Truths
November 5, 9:00am – 3:00pm
Westminster Presbyterian Church, Minneapolis
In order to work for racial justice there are truths that must be faced, even about the faith practiced in most Minnesota churches. At White Church Truths we will face the truths hidden in white Christian beliefs and open our eyes more clearly to the future – and white Christians’ role in it.
In the U.S. today, an entire religion has developed around the worship of the dominance, centrality, privilege, and assumed universality of being white. Dr. Michael O. Emerson, author of “Blacks and Whites in Christian America,” offers a keynote. A response panel includes Felecia Boone, DEI consultant for Hennepin County; Rev. Kelly Sherman-Conroy (Lakota), Native theologian; and Rev. Dr. DeWayne Davis, Lead Pastor at Plymouth Congregational Church.
