Healing Racial Divides: Finding Strength in Our Diversity

While our faith inarguably calls us to unity, we’re still tragically divided when it comes to race, even – and especially, many say — in our churches. Racism pervades our faith, our relationships, and our institutions in deep, often imperceptible ways. In Healing Racial Divides, Terrell Carter, a pastor, professor and former police officer helps us to understand racism’s roots in the church and world – and our place in it – so that we emerge more committed and empowered to work for change.

Drawing from the Bible, scholarly research, and personal experience as a both a former police officer and a black pastor serving white congregations, Carter offers practical strategies for racial reconciliation and shapes a bold and faithful vision for healing racial division through multicultural communities focused on relationship, listening, and learning from each other.

With a pastor’s heart and an academic’s head, Carter invites us to look at where we’ve been-and where God calls us as Christians, seeking healing and true unity on earth.
