Christian Racial Reconciliation (Day 3) | Laing Lectures 2024 with Dr. George Yancey

You are warmly invited to the 2024 Laing Lectures. Dr. George Yancey, Professor of Sociology at Baylor University and the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion, will speak on the subject of Christian Racial Reconciliation from March 5 - March 7.
Lecture 3 - Theology and Sociology of Conversation
In his final lecture, Dr. Yancey will present the idea that collaborative conversations offer a better approach to addressing racial alienation. Demonstrating that this approach has both empirical backing and scriptural support, Dr. Yancey will conclude by arguing that, of all the available options for addressing the ongoing problem of racism, collaborative conversation is best aligned with the basic tenets of Christianity.
