White Supremacy in Evangelicalism - Hidden in Plain Sight - 170

Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

Co-hosts begin this raw and real conversation about white supremacy in Evangelicalism by reflecting on their experiences of white supremacy in their formative churches. Memories arise from Awana, mission trips, seminary and other church settings. Co-hosts recall witnessing the pervasive project to marginalize people of color across all aspects of their formative church life. The white co-hosts marvel that with all the talk of sin, never did that talk include racism.

The conversation dips into topics like colonialism, school/church integration and the invisibility of whiteness. Rajeev shares his immigrant experience of being taught to master the white code so that he might be ready for opportunity. Co-hosts wonder (in the tradition of Maya Angelou) - when we know better, how do we do better? The discussion includes a variety of responses including breaking up with white Jesus, sinking into deep grief, questioning the space of church and American Christianity’s potential for redemption.

At Jeff’s suggestion, the Irenicast crew agrees to extend the conversation for another episode by taking it into an arena a little closer to home: white supremacy in progressive Christianity.

Listen through the segment to hear what co-hosts would… but. Then join the movement to get Casey on Queer Eye.
