can we talk? can we talk about issues of race and racism. or is that too taboo for the emerging church? whenever i have raised this in conversation with emerging church folks i invariably get at least one person usually more saying that is "too much for the emerging church to handle right now." "too big to tackle at this point." most of the books out on the emerging church never address this huge sin in our world. so can we talk? or is this subject off limits? if so what does that mean for the emerging church? dj chung raises some interesting thoughts about being able to speak freely (blog) on touchy issues like racism in the church. robert upton raises some questions worth exploring in his book racism @work among the lord’s people for those of us seeking to faithfully follow jesus in the emerging culture. the folks over a kingdom space also have some thoughtful comments on the subject so can we talk? even if the words are "loaded" because we can’t afford not to. if we don’t we run the risk of becoming irrelevant to the majority populations of the world.
