34: Race and Religion Part 3 - Color and Class
Description
Besides the criminal justice system, what other disparities and challenges do the black community face? How do all of these issues tie in with the overarching issue of poverty? And how are we, as Christians called to view and treat the poor in society? In today's episode, Dr. Bowtie Brian, Dr. Shawn Smith, and I will explore these questions and more, and our hope is that this conversation will help you gain a better perspective on the present situation in the U.S.
We want to hear questions from you! If you'd like for us to tackle a question you might have about race and religion, send the question to ourfaithjourneypodcast@gmail.com, or you can send a message to Our Faith Journey Instagram and Facebook pages. In future episodes, we will be having a Q&A section dedicated to answering questions that you might have.
