"Critical Faith" What it is, What it isn't & Why it Matters

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.
