Race and Christianity in the United States (Sarah Ruble)

Administration | Rostered & Authorized Leaders | Congregational | Public Witness Team

A VIDEO SERIES EXPLORING RACE AND RELIGION IN THE UNITED STATES

Created by Sarah Ruble, Associate Professor in Religion at Gustavus Adolphus College

Offered at NO COST to NT-NL Leaders and Worshiping Communities

ABOUT THE SERIES

Talking about race in the United States is challenging, complicated, and fraught. Even as so much of our lives are affected by race—from where we live to how we vote—we disagree about how big a problem racism is and even how to define it.

This video series provides one lens through which to explore race in the United States. Focusing on the history of black/white relations in the U.S., it considers how race and Christianity have interacted, for good and for ill. It offers a narrative that helps to answer the question “how did we get here?” I hope that by offering a look at our racial past, we will better understand ourselves and be better able to have those challenging, complicated, and fraught conversations our churches and our country need. – Sarah Ruble

ABOUT SARAH RUBLE

I am an associate professor of religion at Gustavus Adolphus College. In addition to teaching (some of the world’s most wonderful) undergraduate students, I lecture in churches and to life-long learning groups. All of that means that I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make the past accessible without making it simplistic. As both a Christian and a historian, I’m always learning, trying to figure out how to make sense of our past and what it means for us today.

Learn more about the series and about Sarah here.

Sample Curriculum: Race and Christianity Leaders Guide Introduction with Early Sessions

The full curriculum consists of eight YouTube videos that are 20 to 25 minutes each, as well as a print component that includes questions for discussions and some suggestions about other resources to consult for further exploration. The videos and downloadable curriculum are available on Sarah’s website: sarahruble.com
