Critical Race Theory Meets the Bible & Theology

Critical race theory has become a rallying cry that is driving people to the polls across our nation. What is critical race theory, however? Does it merit such disdain? Does it really represent a danger to our children if it is taught in our schools?   Please join us virtually as we explore the origins of this theory, its intersection with faith, and the influence it could or should have on theological education. Please bring with you your questions as we seek to understand what critical race theory might mean for all of us as Americans at this crucial point in this time of ideological division in our nation.
