New Release in Book There's A Storm Comin': How the American Church Can Lead Through Times of Racial Crisis



There's A Storm Comin': How the American Church Can Lead Through Times of Racial Crisis
by Dr. Harold Dorrell Briscoe Jr.




George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Atatiana Jefferson, Philando Castile...The killings of these unarmed men and women ignited racial firestorms across the country. Too often, churches and faith leaders across America struggle to respond to and lead through the sociopolitical uproar these events produce. The American church is unprepared for the current sociopolitical climate that is generating severe racial strife and tension in American society. Highly publicized killings of unarmed black people presents an intense political issue for individuals and communities. These shootings cause considerable psychological distress in individuals and racial tension in communities and cities. Drawing from current sociological, psychological, and political research, Dorrell makes the case that the church must take proactive measures to prepare for racialized crises. Churches must prepare for these crises to reduce their severity and impact in their communities and cities. Dorrell then recommends strategies drawn from the academic and professional fields of climate change adaptation and natural disaster mitigation. These insights are synthesized with biblical data to create a framework that gives churches practical steps to prepare for and respond to racialized crises that inflict trauma to the social fabric of America.
