Welcome back! One Tribe and “Woman, in Progress…” took last week off for Vacation Bible School. What a privilege it is to share the message of God’s deep and abiding love with children!
Kevin Robinson, Executive Director of Accord1, brings widsom to our forum this week. He writes about a statstical fact — that the color of America is changing, literally. According to the census bureau, “minority” children now comprise over half of the population of babies under the age of one. Kevin asks an important question that must not be taken as rhetorical (read: ignorable): “Can the church ride this tidal wave of change?”

One Tribe is a weekly forum dedicated to open discussion of racial healing. It appears each Monday. Contributors represent many walks of life, but have in common these foundational beliefs: (1) racism is sin; (2) only the power of Christ through the Holy Spirit can break racism’s grip and heal people and relationships; and (3) as Christians, racial healing and reconciliation are part of God’s call upon our lives. The good news of the gospel is that all are one in Christ (Gal 3:28). May it be so!
All who hold to the above defined beliefs about racism are invited to write for One Tribe. Please email Angie at revmabrynauta@gmail.com to express interest in contributing and for additional information.

One Tribe returns to the important topic of white privilege. This week’s contributor is Rev. Drew Yamamoto, a friend and colleage in ministry. Drew serves as the Supervisor for Missions in Asia and the Pacific for our denomination, the Reformed Church in America. As a Japanese American who travels extensively, Drew comments that he often feels “without culture” and that he seems not to fit in 100% anywhere. Sadly, this may actually hinder him more than it helps. He’s certainly seen white privilege in action, and he knows first-hand what it feels like not to benefit from it.
