| Итог: | Racial division has been a long-standing problem throughout the history of the United States, and these problems persist among Christians and the church today. There is often hope that Christians can offer help and healing to the problem of racial division, but many Christians and Christian institutions have maintained racial systems of inequality, oppression, and White supremacy through lack of action, endorsing colorblind racial ideology, and even overt opposition to movements and viewpoints supporting racial justice, claiming that such movements are antithetical to the Christian faith. In the current article, we first discuss the problem of racial division within the context of American Christianity, focusing on the following themes: (a) lack of motivation to engage, (b) low levels of cultural competence, and (c) comfort, familiarity and the reinforcement of self-interest by historical structures that have favored the majority culture. Then we present a three-part model for supporting Christians who want to work toward racial diversity/equity/inclusion (DEI), focusing on (a) increasing motivation, (b) increasing cultural competence, and (c) implementing contextual and structural changes. Finally, we offer some ideas about what a program based on our model might look like and briefly review existing research that supports our model and program. |
