Beyond the Color Barrier: the Gospel, Race, and the Future of Christianity in America

March 26, 2013

From Rugby Road to Asian cultural organizations, StudCo to OAAA peer mentoring, U.Va. seems torn between embracing unity or honoring the uniqueness of colors and cultures.

Yet the gospel proclaims the reconciliation of all things in Christ, where neighbors come together as unique individuals AND unified communities, where all social orders are remade in the image of God. What would that look like here at U.Va.?

Anthony Bradley presents a biblical theology of ethnicity (what is race/ethnicity according to God?). Soong-Chan Rah will explore the impact that our shifting ethnic demographics will have on the future of American Christianity and offer a practical challenge in carrying out God's reconciling work both on Grounds and beyond.
