Critical Race Theory and the Sanctity of Life

Critical Race Theory is an academic and philosophical discipline now mainstreamed in multiple segments of American culture. Public schools and higher education, the broader American business world and marketplace, as well as progressive politics are all inundated by it. However, it’s also impacting the life of congregations and their members. As Christians, we want to know how to fight against the sin of racism, love our neighbor, uphold biblical justice and the sanctity of all human life, all while not letting a dangerous ideology sabotage our trust in Jesus Christ and His Word of truth.

This presentation will address:

The ideological foundations of Critical Race Theory
The ironic racism in the theory (how it does not value the sanctify of all life)
How it functions as a new religion
How Lutherans have a clear alternative: A robust theology of faith and love that upholds the sanctify of all life and leads us forward into action
