There remains a problem with race in America because of the church's failure to understand the issues from a biblical perspective. Rather than being called into a different community by Scripture, we see our broken communities as justified by Scripture.Rather than challenge the worldly status quo, religious groups perpetuate stereotypes, sectarianism, and schisms when accepting ethnic denominational identities- inverting Pentecost by reading in multiple languages unrecognized by listeners and offering separate worship services according to musical preference. Ultimately, our aim is to draw attention to the biblical narrative from which comes to the strength for the long road of reconciliation.

I believe that reappropriation can be a powerful tool for creating social change. Sometimes, things like irony, satire, or humor are more effective in getting at difficult truths or concepts like white privilege, orientalism, and the exoticization of culture.
