The Church and the Racial Divide - Leader Kit

The Church and the Racial Divide Leader Kit includes a Bible Study Book and one DVD with six 15- to 20-minute video teaching sessions featuring several contributors, including author Trevor Atwood. The Kit also includes codes for access to digital video downloads.

In light of racial tension in America, many Christian leaders are talking earnestly about racial reconciliation. Many pastors and lay leaders look at the growing tensions in our churches and wonder how they can be a healing force in our culture. The problem is they don’t know where to begin. The average evangelical Christian may not understand why racial reconciliation is a gospel imperative. The average pastor may not know how to pursue it.
