AB The racial justice protests of the last several years reveals the extent to which white American Christianity finds itself caught between two moral imaginations – one rooted in the system of white supremacy and the other animated by theologies of solidarity and resistance. This moral confusion has left many white Christian leaders at a disadvantage on the issue of racial justice, one of the most pressing moral issues of the day. More importantly, the institutional apparatus of white Christian life also finds itself suspended between these two moral imaginations, which can be experienced most viscerally in liturgy and worship. As environmental, social, and political pressures mount, white Christianity must wake up to this moral conundrum and find a way to act rightly and assertively.
