The Effects of the Whitewashing of the Gospel

The effects of whitewashing are seen in our theology, in our church and how we look at ourselves. A huge story about the beginnings of the gospel is totally down played. And then this other story is lifted up. What that causes is then a our churches are viewed. Some of this conference is even dealing with some of that stuff. The fact that we're having this conversation is the effect of the whitewashing. I'm sure there's not a white convention somewhere asking about black folk or how can we do it. We have to throw off colonization by stop defining ourselves by white people, but stand on our own feet.
