Race. What does the Bible say about race? 

Racism is a hot topic in our culture today. So, how should Christians think about this? What does the Bible say about this? In this elective, the leader will show that, although there are many different races in the world, there are far more similarities than first meets the eye; the most important being that we are made in the image of God and Christ died for us all. Therefore, as a result of God’s work of creation and recreation, the leader will point out there is no place for racism in a Christian worldview. The leader may also work to show students ways of addressing and talking about race with their friends and family.
