Common Good Faith - Wednesday February 10, 2021

Today on Common Good Faith, our hosts dig into Galatians 3 and how it is often used to erase diversity rather than bring about justice and genuine Christ-centered unity. Also under the microscope is the Bruce Springsteen Jeep Super Bowl commercial calling for Americans to \u201cmeet in the middle\u201d and how it is a call for false unity that centers color-blindness and erases a long history of white supremacy.


Notes and resources:

The oft-misused Galatians 3: \u201cThere is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.\u201d

Doing Justice by Dominique Gilliard

Multiracial churches don't challenge racism until they challenge white supremacy
