Hello! I've been a "progressive Christian" since high school, despite growing up in a more fundamentalist church. During this last (US) election season, I've come to realize just how out-of-the-norm I am compared to how the majority of Christians voted. Simultaneously, due to the Black Lives Matter movement, I've been doing a lot of reading about what white people (me ) should understand about racism in the US, how I'm unknowingly or knowingly contributing to it, etc. So my main interests in joining this forum are: 1) Racial Justice: I've done some reading/listening to what white people in general can do on the topic of racism. I'd love to learn what white Christians can and should be doing as well. I'd love to learn about local events, hear how people discuss these topics with other Christians (both progressive and not), etc. 2) I think there's currently a huge opportunity to love and serve others who are afraid after the election, and I just haven't seen a Christian movement to do that. I'd love to hear about it if there is one. If you have pointers to any threads I should follow here, I'd love them! Otherwise I'll be making use of search a lot . Thanks.
