Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

‘Between the Christianity of the land, as well as the Christianity of Christ, I identify the widest feasible difference.’ -FREDERICK DOUGLASS, 1845

The prophets of old were not easy to listen to because they did not flatter. They didn’t cajole. They spoke hard terms that often chafed and unsettled their listeners. Just like the Old Testament prophets, and more recent prophetic voices like Frederick Douglass, Dr. Eric Mason phone calls the evangelical church to a much-needed reckoning. In a time when many about Woke Cathedral: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice feel confused, complacent, and even angry, he difficulties the chapel to:

Be Aware-to understand that the issue of justice is not a black issue, it’s a kingdom issue. To learn the way the history of racism in America and in the chapel has tainted our see to a watching world.

End up being Redemptive-to grieve and lament what we’ve lost also to regain our prophetic tone of voice, calling the cathedral to keep in mind our gospel vital to promote justice and mercy.

End up being Active-to move beyond polite, secure interactions about reconciliation and begin to set things aright for our soon-coming King, who will become looking for a woke church.
