Faith & Race: Discussing Obama's Speech

Every year Quest hosts a class on Faith & Race. To continue the discussion we are having an informal meet-up at the Q Cafe on Thur., 4/17, from 7-9pm to discuss Obama's recent speech on race in America. We'll watch a couple of clips from the speech and discuss the responses it evokes and how it intersects with some of what we learned in the fall. RSVP with jason[at]seattlequest.org.

From Pastor Eugene's blog a couple weeks ago:

Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian; Whether you are black, white, yellow, red, or any other color; Whether you are for Obama, Clinton, McCain, Ron Paul, or a move to Canada…grab your favorite drink and listen/read this speech. It’s not my intent to irk anyone who may perceive that I am subliminally pushing for one party or candidate over another.

No - that is not my intention. I am simply calling people to listen to what I perceive to be one of the most substantive and profound speeches on the issue of race, racism, [and faith].
