We Need To Talk About Race: Understanding the Black Experience in White Majority Churches
By Ben Lindsay
One of the church's 'go-to' guides on racism.
Whilst there are wider issues of racial equality in other places (Ben Lindsay is British, so ‘We Need To Talk About Race’ focuses on the UK church scene), and wider issues of social justice in our own country, I found this an incredibly eye-opening book. Ben covers history, theology and social application.
‘We Need To Talk About Race’ challenged me to consider what ‘racism’ and prejudice mean in my own life, and encouraged to become an ally in whichever situations God puts me.
