Finally, a book about racism that covers the bases! This looks like the best thing to come out of the SBC on the topic of racism. The authors acknowledge a number of anti-racist understandings including predominate white Christian culture, systemic racism, white supremacy and cultural superiority, race as a social construct, going beyond diversity, white normative thinking (though I did not see the term “White Privilege†mentioned), Color Blindness as a wrong approach, the violence of racism, historical perspectives, diversity should not be the goal, racism as a gospel issue, true confession and naming of sin (example, clear confession that slavery was the cause of the founding of the SBC), allowing for discomfort, and many more.Many authors are still using racial reconciliation language, but several hint at a deeper understanding of what that really should mean, and several make the point to put racial reconciliation at the end of the process instead of forcing racial harmony at the start.The chapter by Jarvis Williams is amazing. While he still uses the term “racial reconciliation†a lot, he has a deeper understanding of that than what is often expressed. He calls out predominately white Christian culture and intellectual racism. He acknowledges systemic racism, white supremacy, “race as a social constructâ€, the evolution of “race†as a construct, and even where he uses “white supremacyâ€, he is just as much talking about the overall aspects of “white superiority†that apply even when you do not call yourself Alt-right or identify as KKK. He states that “the Bible’s category of race has absolutely nothing to do with racial hierarchy based on biological inferiorityâ€.He offers that the goal is not simply diversity. When he starts his Fifteen Concluding Exhortations, he does hint at the dilemma of racial reconciliation at least in his opening remarks about Jews and Gentiles. And when he does, he has the order correct, putting speaking intelligently and thoughtfully about matters pertaining to race, the gospel, justice, and then racial reconciliation.His 15 exhortations include listening, multi-ethnic church plants, stop making excuses (and here he identifies the stain of white supremacy), not just black and white, more leadership, more relationships, remove ignorance -- be teachable, share leadership, remove white supremacy idolatry and images (white Jesus in Sunday school), White Normalcy (maybe the closest you will see to acknowledging White Privilege), Color-Blindness, not playing the race card, befriending the disinherited, acknowledging the lack of credibility on the part of the SBC, and not letting POC off the hook.Some authors thankfully, leave out “racial reconciliation†altogether. This is a good sign, if you understand that “race†is not a biblical concept and reconciliation implies getting back to a place of harmony. Reconciliation implies we both need to be reconciled one to the other as if we both had equal responsibility for the break, which is far from the case in racism. In any case, the language is problematic at many levels and is helpful to get away from it and focus on better approaches.Unfortunately, the book itself has a stain. Personally, I find the metaphor of racism described as a stain a poor choice. What were they thinking? It is glaring that the preface starts off with “Nothing is worse than having a clean, white shirt stained by a foreign substance.†Really? I can think of a number of things. Later on the same page, I read “The gospel of Jesus Christ requires and demands all Southern Baptists to do their best to erase this stain from the SBC – or at least make the stain less apparent.†One would argue, “it is just a catchy titleâ€, but each chapter takes the title and applies it into its own area, so you start off with “Conceived in Sin, Called by the Gospel: The Root Cause of the Stain of Racism in the Southern Baptist Conventionâ€. I grant and applaud that in the first chapter they clearly acknowledge that slavery was the reason the SBC was founded. But molding every chapter with a troubling metaphor seems unnecessary.Why do I have a problem with the title? To characterize racism as a stain minimizes the 400 years of violence and injustice done to people of color -- the murder, the rape of slaves, the rape of their children, the breaking of families, the false imprisonments, the taking of their property, the lynching’s, the dehumanization, and the taking of their hopes and dreams. It is not a stain, it is a history of violence of tremendous magnitude. Further, a stain can be removed and forgotten. Once removed from a shirt, you may have a hard time remembering that it was once stained, or even where. It is not the same with history. Nor should it be. The history of racism cannot be forgotten. It remains a living breathing reality. It must be confessed (named), forgiven, amends made, and relationships rebuilt.But maybe the intent of the authors is more subtle. If you deliberately stained my shirt, I would be angry, prone to a violent retaliation, or at least to expect amends. So maybe the authors are trying to express the anger for the injustices received and how legitimate are the calls for redress. But I doubt it. That would be expected, but this metaphor lends credence to expect the victim just to take off the stained shirt and put on a new clean one and get on with life. We expect forgiveness with no amends made or offered. So I think the title poorly chosen.However, that is not to say, that any of the authors took the subject lightly. Even with a poorly chosen metaphor, I found each author to take their particular topic very seriously. Every chapter is worth a read and careful study.... But if on the other, other hand, by the stain, you mean as Javis J. Williams alludes to on page 45 of his section, "... to work harder at erasing the stains than our racist forbears worked to stain our denomination with white supremacy". I hear him saying that the stain is not racism, it is "white supremacy" -- that is what needs to be wiped out. That I can agree with.--- My background includes almost 40 years of SBC membership, service at every level except pastor and 2 years on the mission field.
Removing the Stain of Racism from the Southern Baptist Convention is all at once a needed, insightful, heartbreaking, and hopeful book that every Southern Baptist should read. Every SBC member needs to engage the biblical and historical teachings and exhortations laid out from the foreword to the appendices. All of the contributors expertly explain and address their points, with Jarvis J. Williams' chapter still managing to stand out in scholarship, argumentation, and obvious passion to see God glorified through racial reconciliation in the SBC. If you're a pastor, I encourage you to go through whatever proper channels you need to make room in your church budget to buy at least one copy for every household represented in the congregation you serve. May God use this book to bring about major strides in racial reconciliation in the SBC!
A thorough and nuanced approach to understanding and dismantling racism in the church. Written with the SBC in mind, but good read for any Christian looking to confront racism in the church.
This book provided good insight into the subject of racism within the context of the Southern Baptist.
Awesome insights. I Love the diversity of contributors.
The release of "Removing the Stain of Racism from the Southern Baptist Convention," co-edited by Southern Seminary professor Jarvis J. Williams and Boyce College professor Kevin M. Jones, marks an encouraging sign in our denomination’s overdue progress. Consider the significance of the book being published by official SBC imprint B&H, whose former name “Broadman†honored SBTS co-founders and slaveholders John A. Broadus and Basil Manly Jr. Prompted by SBTS President R. Albert Mohler Jr.’s acknowledgement of “the stain of racism†in his spring 2015 convocation address, Williams and Jones gathered eight additional African-American leaders and three white SBC statesmen to offer insight on improving racial unity in the denomination — in areas ranging from preaching, leadership, education, and publishing.“The Southern Baptist Convention has a big, dark, historical stain on it: racism,†Williams and Jones write in the preface. “The gospel of Jesus Christ requires and demands all Southern Baptists to do their parts to erase this stain from the SBC — or at least to make the stain less apparent. This act requires a relentless obedience to Christian unity.â€The opening contribution by Mohler reflects on how the SBC was “conceived in sin†because of its founders’ support of slavery and a heresy of racial superiority. “Diversity is not an accident or a problem; it is a sign of God’s providence and promise,†he writes. “If the church gets it wrong, it is not just getting race and and ethnic difference wrong. It is getting the gospel wrong.â€Boyce College Dean Matthew J. Hall follows Mohler’s contribution by examining the historical causes of the stain of racism due to the racial hierarchy and hypocrisy of white Baptist leaders through the founding of America, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights movement. Hall contends today’s Baptists should “allow the ghosts of our racists forebears to haunt us†to be reminded of the abiding susceptibility to pride and hatred.The heart of the book rests in Williams’ lengthy chapter on a biblical vision of racial unity in the SBC. A New Testament professor at SBTS, Williams surveys racial issues in the early church and analyzes how the Scripture offers a model for racial reconciliation, as the gospel has both vertical and horizontal implications.The book also features stellar contributions from Kevin L. Smith on addressing racial unity from the pulpit, Mark A. Croston Sr. on the importance of denominational leadership to hire minorities, and Kevin M. Jones on improving Christian education to include more ethnically diverse reading and curriculum. "Removing the Stain" is an historic achievement, not merely for its presence and symbolism, but because applying its wisdom could alter the future of the SBC.
