He challenges churches to reach out to other congregations of different racial composition, and provides two pages of ideas for how racially different and divided churches can partner together in kingdom work. According to Dolphus, when Christians who don’t look like each other come together in the ways he proposes, three powerful things happen (165-166):  1. They actually address a real need in their community.  2. They show the world what racial reconciliation looks like by coming together as brothers and sisters in Christ and living out the unity Christ desires.  3. Because of that unity they offer a compelling witness to the world that Jesus is Lord of a united people, answering Jesus’ prayer in John 17. – David Murray Share this:ShareFacebookTwitterTumblrPinterestGoogle +1Like this:Like Loading… Posted in: Helpful Book Reviews [...]

You don’t even have to feel prejudice against an entire race to practice racism. All you have to do is watch someone from another race being treated unjustly and remain silent.”

So if I see someone of the same race being treated unjustly and I remain silent, that’s just a generic sin of omission.

But if I see someone of a different race being treated unjustly and I remain silent, that’s a racist sin of omission, even if I don’t feel any prejudice toward the other race? Just by virtue of the fact that the other person is a member of another race – that’s what makes it racist?

I always thought it was the prejudiced motivation of the heart that made something racist…
