Thursday, February 21, 2008, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Olsson Lounge, Nyvall Hall
Ed Gilbreath gives a fresh and insightful exploration of the current state of race relations in the church. In his book Reconciliation Blues he shares his experience as a black evangelical and his journey of faith and discovery from one who has gone to school, work and worshipped in predominately white evangelical settings for much of his life. In addition to his own story, he interviewed dozens of other black evangelicals who have had similar experiences. Being the "first" or "only" black can be a wild and sometimes lonely adventure.
