Identity Politics, Racism, Tribalism and the Gospel
with Nathaniel Jennings, Rev Dr Israel Oluwole Olofinjana, Pastor Johann Vizagie & David Maganda
We will be exploring how the good news of Jesus deals with social divisions and conflicts. We will particularly be reflecting on the Black Lives Matter movement, so called ‘woke culture’ and how Christians engage with social justice movements. We be discussing what the kingdom alternatives are to the increasing tribalism and polarization we see in society. What should be our posture and purpose in the midst of this?
