Join us for a thoughtful and courageous conversation about When God Became White. Author Grace Ji-Sun Kim examines how images of a white, male God developed within Western Christianity, the harm those images have caused, and how recovering a fuller understanding of God can lead us toward a more just faith, church, and world.

“Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.”
—Micah 6:8
Inspired by Micah 6:8, the TN Anti-Racism Commission confronts the sin of racism and the idolatry of white supremacy within our Disciples of Christ churches. We seek to embody Christ’s reconciling love through the sacred work of justice and reconciliation.
