The Need for Historically Black Churches: Affirmation and Separation

Karl Vaters interviews Mike Edmondson about the hot-button topics of racial segregation in the American church, why affinity spaces matter, and how the gospel defeats racism – even the racism that has sometimes been promoted within the institutional church.

Mika speaks with experience, wisdom, directness, and grace, generating more light than heat.

Some of what Mika and Karl talk about includes:

• What is segregation?
• What is “Hereditary Heathenism?”
• Why did historically black churches begin?
• What are “Affinity Spaces” and why do they matter?
• How can we think and act more biblically about issues of race?

And more.
