Two books of interest in this discussion are:

“Jesus and Justice: Evangelicals, Race & American Politics” by Peter Goodwin Heltzel.

“Deep Justice in a Broken World: Helping Your Kids Serve Others and Right the Wrongs Around Them” by Chap Clark and Kara E. Powell.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible and one I use when i speak to audiences about the justification and need for interaction among the body of believers is found in the book of Genesis. In chapter one and verse twenty seven we find, “so God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them. I am a firm believer that here we are given instructions to be about His business and an idea of who we are to emulate. We find in these words that God did not create Black men, White men, or Yellow men in His image; but that he created “Man” and “Woman” in His image. We know then that He would want us to carry that image by being in community and loving each other across the man-made divisions of race and ethnicity.
