Season Two – Episode 6: White Fragility by Robin Diangelo

3

Episode #6.   Enlighten us dear Lord! “I don’t know if white Christians hate negroes or not, but I know that we have a Christian church that is white and a Christian church which is black.  I know that the most segregated hour in American life is high noon on Sunday”, said James Baldwin in 1965. How far have we come since then? Many of us white kids were raised to believe that the problem of racial inequity was mostly solved with the civil rights movement. With God’s grace and the Holy Spirit’s gentle prompting, join the conversation as we investigate our own complicity in the complex structures that hold racism in place.

 

“Enlighten those who possess power and money that they may avoid the sin of indifference, that they may love the common good, advance the weak, and care for this world in which we live. The poor and the earth are crying out”.

-Pope Francis
