Conversation | “The Church’s Role in Reparations” | Duke Kwon & Gregory Thompson

This week, we share a Soundings Seminar conversation with Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson, the authors of the 2021 book Reparations: A Christian Call for Repentance and Renewal. Duke and Greg lay out how their book can help American Christians *See* the pervasive sin of white supremacy through our history, *Own* the need for restoration of wealth, truth, and power stolen from black communities, and embrace the biblical call to *Repair* our communities. They explain how and why the church is uniquely equipped to take up the complex question of reparations, and they share candidly about the roots of many Christians' resistance to taking this question seriously.
It is a challenging and stimulating conversation, and we hope you'll be blessed by it!
