Beneath the Skin: Baptists and Racism
Recommended by: Pastor Stuart
This documentary is short but powerful. It is only about 45 minutes long, but it will teach you, convict you, and inspire you. It talks about the sad harsh history that Baptists have played in terms of slavery and discrimination in the South, but also issues challenges for a better future. The film interviews Baptist preachers and thinkers to discuss things like how the Bible was (mis)used to support racial oppression, and how it should inspire us to do better. Watching it is time well spent.
The church staff has pulled some resources from our Church Library and put them on a table in the Fellowship Hall. Come by (8-3:30 Mon-Fri), choose something(s) you would like, write your name on the card along with the date, and return it within 3 weeks. It’s a great time to READ and WATCH good things!
