About two weeks ago, I received the good news that I was going to be receiving a free book, and James K A Smith would be answering my question for his book. It was a brilliant response, and I feel satisfied, which, if you know me personally and have seen me in action at academic conferences, you would know that is an almost impossible feat.
So, here is his video answer to my question:
To, to sum up what Smith is saying here, he is suggesting that there needs to be a confessional model of addressing race issues. Confession of admitting sins publicly as well as relying on Reformed theological statements, such as the Kairos Document and the Belhar Confession, as the starting point for addressing racial injustice. That, along with the Reformed emphasis on the covenant established by Christ, in which God is not a respecter of persons.
