The Malleability of Ethnicity (& Race)
"If white parents adopt black children and they don't make very conscious decisions about incorporating, including, immersing, and valuing blackness, then the adoption and the parenting is deeply problematic." Is that a Christian way to think? In this chalkboard session, Pastor Gus Pritchard explores what the Bible says about ethnicity and race. He demonstrates that ethnicity is a malleable concept, showing that (1) from one ancestor come many ethnic groups, (2) ethnicity is fundamentally a matter of custom, (3) ethnic divisions are primarily a matter of culture, (4) and the gospel propels and empowers ethnic change.
