When I first moved to the US and discovered that many people associate evangelical Christianity with racism, I was bewildered. The New Testament is one of the most emphatically anti-racist texts ever written. Fellowship across racial and ethnic differences is as intrinsic to the message of Jesus as care for the poor. And yet there is a painful association between racism and the breed of American Christianity that stops its ears to the Scriptures and conflates white-centered nationalism with biblical faith.
