#372 Race and Religion with Gloria Ladson-Billings [Part 2]


Listen Later

In this episode, Pastor Nic is joined by Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, a renowned education professor and Christian believer, discuss Critical Race Theory (CRT) and its intersection with faith and education. The conversation aims to provide a clear, nuanced explanation of CRT's main tenets while exploring how Christians might engage with these ideas constructively. Dr. Ladson-Billings, as both a scholar and a long-time church member, offers unique insights into how CRT can be understood as an analytical tool for understanding racial inequality rather than as a prescription for policy or a replacement for Christian values. The discussion covers topics like systemic racism, interest convergence, race as a social construct, and church segregation, all while maintaining a focus on how these concepts relate to Christian faith and practice. Throughout the conversation, Ladson-Billings emphasizes that CRT is primarily meant to help explain persistent racial disparities in America, not to promote hatred or division. The conversation ultimately suggests that understanding CRT's academic insights might actually help Christians better fulfill their calling to love their neighbors and work toward reconciliation, while maintaining their core theological commitments.
