About this Event
Critical Faith What it is, what it isn't & Why it Matters written by Joni Schwartz Chaney informs you of the near hysteria that has erupted in the media, state and federal legislatures, community boards, and churches around critical race theory (CRT). Their critiques routinely claim that CRT is a rewriting of America history, anti-democratic, and even heretical. But it is none of these things. Critical Faith that CRT is a total grapple with the thorny issue of race in both society and the church. In a reasoned tone, Critical Faith defines the origins of CRT, explains what the theory is, and demonstrates its merits from teaching experiences of the author. It argues that Christians can move past mischaracterizations and caricatures toward a more nuanced view of race, racism, and the tools available to make progress in the church and in society.
The evening interview with Dr Joni Schwartz Chaney and Q&A with the audience will be hosted by Mr. Kurt Sealey.
The event is free so it is important that you please reserve your spot due to limited space through Eventbrite.
Dr Joni Schwartz Chaney is a professor of humanities at the City University of New York-LaGuardia Community College. A critical researcher and social activist scholar, she is the author or editor of several books, including Race Education, and Reintegrating Formely Incarcerated Citizens.
We are so excited to have with us several special guests from Re/Creation Writers Collective. These gifted incarerated students will start the evening by reading for us their writings. Please arrive early for good seats. Our event will begin at 7:00 PM sharp!
