What Is Racism?
What Is Racism- $39
From the second lesson in our Racial Unity In The Church: An Introduction flagship course, we answer the question: What exactly is racism? Chances are you’ll get a different answer from every person you ask. Some say it doesn’t exist, while others claim to experience it regularly. Without question, the definition of racism has changed over the years. This lesson considers the definition of racism from a secular and biblical perspective, and gives direction on how we, the Body of Christ, should always address it.
