A broad racial divide mars Churches of Christ, and courageous leaders from across the United States have joined together to listen to one another. Rather than adopt a posture of resignation, they have met for honest, God-honoring conversation.

In Reconciliation Reconsidered, Tanya Brice pulls together the easly frui she has gleaned from this ongoing conversation about racial reconciliation. Learn about yourself in the context of community as you explore these key ideas:

-Exercise truth-telling; it's what wis needed before any reconciliation can happen
-Discover how race relations are not as simple as you think
-Challenge your stereotypes
-Understand the meaning of current events like the Ferguson shooting in fresh ways
-Revisit Christ's teachings with a careful eye toward discipleship and love of your neighbor

Each chapter concludes with discussion questions that can help you and others navigate the perplexing and difficult topic.
