Hey, didn't see you come in. I was just reading here. I've mentioned this book a couple times,

00:13

A Biblical Answer for Racial Unity. It's a compilation of different speeches given by various people.

00:20

I've gotten through chapter 5, a couple of chapters by H .B. Charles, which were great. Richard Caldwell, also pretty good.

00:27

And two chapters by Juan Sanchez, which were both pretty good in general. There were some minor things to quibble with, but overall

00:34

I was very impressed. And here I go, I'm in chapter 6, and it's Danny Akin, A Mindset for Racial Unity.

00:41

I'll just read it. I don't know if you'll like this video, but some people like this kind of thing, so I'll just read it and we'll see how it goes.

00:55

Ku Klux Klan. I experienced integration in the 5th grade, and the same year Martin Luther King Jr.

01:01

was assassinated. I grew up in a wonderful church. I was called into the ministry from that church.

01:06

A few years after my call to ministry, I learned that the pastor had wanted to invite E .V. Hill to come and preach in our church, but tragically the deacons voted it down.

01:14

He was not extended an invitation. That was the world I grew up in, which I grew up in, and yet at the same time

01:20

I was blessed to have great grandparents and parents, in particular my mother, who taught me that that's not the way you think.

01:25

It's not the way you act or treat other people. Today I am blessed to be a part of a seminary that has as one of its core values kingdom diversity.

01:33

One of the things I've learned over the last several years is those of us who are white, who have not grown up in a minority context, we just need to be quiet, listen, and learn.

01:57

Those of us who are white, who have not grown up in a minority context, we just need to be quiet, listen, and learn.

02:05

We tend to talk too much. Because we often talk so much, we don't get to hear other people's stories.

02:12

We don't get to appreciate their perspective. You know what

02:18

Danny Akin? You're right. You just deplatformed yourself!
