America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's
foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and
the enslavement of another. Racism is truly our nation's original
sin. "It's time we right this unacceptable wrong," says bestselling
author and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis. Fifty years ago,
Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that
considered dealing with racism to be taboo. His participation in
the civil rights movement brought him back when he discovered a
faith that commands racial justice. Yet as recent tragedies
confirm, we continue to suffer from the legacy of racism. The old
patterns of white privilege are colliding with the changing
demographics of a diverse nation. The church has been slow to
respond, and Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of
the week. In America's Original Sin, Wallis offers a prophetic and
deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so
ingrained in American society. He speaks candidly to
Christians--particularly white Christians--urging them to cross a
new bridge toward racial justice and healing. Whenever divided
cultures and gridlocked power structures fail to end systemic sin,
faith communities can help lead the way to grassroots change.
Probing yet positive, biblically rooted yet highly practical, this
book shows people of faith how they can work together to overcome
the embedded racism in America, galvanizing a movement to cross the
bridge to a multiracial church and a new America.
