ELCA Seminary Course Teaches that CRT is 'the truth that sets us free...'

8/23/2023

1 Comment

 
 The ELCA's United Lutheran Seminary has their 2022 courses listed and one of them is called "Let’s Talk: Racial Reckoning in Ministry Contexts."

In the description it is described as "
A course for church leaders either engaged or preparing to engage in conversations about race in America within their ministry context. How do we walk with people from white fragility to white humility? How can we help folks understand that Critical Race Theory and The 1619 Project are the truth that sets us free from fear and encourages us to see the world around us with Christocentric and inclusive focus? Colleagues will discuss readings and develop practical ways to begin this challenging journey."

(See on page 9 of the course descriptions here or below)

The best repudiation of CRT you may ever see . . . because it's grounded in Biblical truth, which is totally foreign to ELCA leaders who have developed calluses on their noses from groveling before Caesar.

-- https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2022/11/how-one-christian-school-addressed-critical-theory

Article I

WE AFFIRM that all persons are created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26ff.), and descend from a historical Adam, and thus there is a fundamental unity across the human race.

WE DENY that any racial or ethnic category can nullify or negate this fundamental unity of all persons as created in the image of God, since all persons descend from a historical Adam. We further deny that one’s racial or ethnic make-up is at the heart of one’s identity, especially in comparison to: (1) being created in the image of God (in the case of each person), and (2) being united to Christ by faith alone apart from works (as applicable to believers in Christ). For those who are in Christ, the most pressing and central aspect of one’s identity is to be found in being “in Christ,” not in one’s race or ethnicity (Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:26; 5:6; Ephesians 1:3; 2:6; 3:6).

[. . . ]

Article VI

WE AFFIRM that all persons who are in Christ, and who have expressed faith in Christ, are part of the world-wide body of persons rightly called Christians, and that such persons have a common Father (God the Father), are united to the same Son (God the Son), and are being sanctified by the same Holy Spirit (God the Holy Spirit).

WE DENY that differences of tribe, language, people, and nation are more important or significant than (1) the common humanity all persons share, and (2) the common spiritual relationship that all Christians share by being united to Christ by faith alone.

Article VII

WE AFFIRM that all persons who have come into the world (excepting the Lord Jesus Christ) come into the world guilty, corrupted, and with a proclivity toward sin.

WE DENY that any sin, including the sin of racism (defined as actual animus toward someone solely on the basis of that person’s race), can be attributed to a person simply because of that person’s racial or ethnic identity. We further deny that the sin of racism is by definition or in fact unique to one, or more than one, race, or that any given race is incapable of committing the sin of racism.

Article VIII

WE AFFIRM that sin is a devastating reality that pervades every human heart, and in various ways affects every aspect of human life.

WE DENY that persons or the systems they create are sinful by necessity or inherently. This is because man as created is not sinful. Man as fallen is sinful. While there is a universality to sin, and a tragic tenacity to sin, we deny that sin—including racism—is by definition or by necessity a part of every relation, system, or structure.

Article IX

WE AFFIRM that when someone has sinned, he or she should repent before the Lord and seek forgiveness from the offended party when and if applicable.

WE DENY that the biblical pattern, especially in the New Covenant, teaches that persons living in the present era can be held morally or spiritually culpable for sins committed by other persons, especially persons living in a different era altogether, with the exception of the unique federal headship of Adam over the whole human race. The clear biblical pattern is that the one who sins is the one who dies (Jeremiah 31:30; Ezekiel 18:1–4, 19–20), and that especially as one moves across the canon of Scripture into the New Covenant, persons are culpable for their own sin (note: this should not be interpreted as a denial of original sin, which passes on to all persons after the sin of Adam—excepting the Lord Jesus Christ). We further deny that any person of any race or ethnic group is more or less sinful simply by being a part of this or that race or ethnic group.
