It was only a matter of time for the topic of race to come up on Personalist Manifesto(s), and when the time came, I wanted to have a conversation with someone who approaches the topic with a critical and constructive perspective; a prophetic and pastoral voice. Enter Grace Ji-Sun Kim, who consistently offers such a perspective and voice in her work, and made some time in her busy schedule to speak with me recently.I can’t promise this will be easy listening—especially if you’re inclined to dismiss or try to shut down discussions and uses of intersectional and critical race theory—but I will urge you to keep listening even when it’s difficult. Because if you do keep listening, you might discover, just as I am, that the categories of white and whiteness are not directed at white people per se; rather, they are directed at ideologies, systems, and actions that continue to put white people in positions of power and exclude, oppress, and hurting people who are not.The good news is that, on the other side of this discovery, is the realization that there is only one race: the human race, and the different groups comprising this race are fearfully and wonderfully made by a Triune God. This God’s being and action is at once unified and plural, and because of that, this God started and is finishing creation with a move towards similar unity and plurality.BioGrace Ji-Sun Kim is Professor of Theology at Earlham School of Religion and the author/editor of 24 books, including 'When God Became White,' 'Surviving God,' 'Christianity in North America,' 'Spirit Life,' 'Invisible,' 'Hope in Disarray,' 'Keeping Hope Alive,' 'Intersectional Theology,' and 'Healing our Broken Humanity.' She received her M.Div. from Knox College (University of Toronto) and her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. She is also an ordained minister of word and sacrament within the Presbyterian (USA) denomination.LinksWebsite: https://gracejisunkim.wordpress.com/Substack: https://gracek.substack.com/Podcast: https://www.christiancentury.org/podcast/madangAdditional resourcesFeminist Theology Network email newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/a5e743737064/feminist-theology-networkFeminist Theology Network BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/feministtheology.bsky.socialBEEF (trailer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVqKByS20Uc
