Gentle On Race

I recently attended an (evangelical) lecture on race in the Church. The lecturer said that, on the basis of our salvation, there is absolutely no distinction in the Church on the grounds of race -- and he powerfully drove home the point. He described a close relationship between salvation and non-racialism. But the lecture seemed to me to be altogether too general. I asked him afterwards what he did with ministry by members (the priesthood of believers) and office-bearers in the Church -- which is what it comes down to if you are serious about it. He said: "I confess that I tread very gently with that." See also the comment, below, under Ministry By Members.
