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.
