Religious education in a multicultural society : an examination of the expanding context of religion and multiracial families

Text in English / In this study, an attempt was made to examine the impact that the multiracial identity is having on the institutional Church and in its attempts to address the problem of racism in the United States.
An effort will be made to explore the emergence of anti-racist paradigms that both- move outside the social construction of race and an ideology of racial hatred and which empower people of all hues, ethnic an linguistic groups. Particular emphasis will be placed on those approaches which
de-emphasize majoritianism and a need to assert one's superior, moral, historic and pragmatic claims. A strong challenge is given to the Church to re-orientate its imagination away from the chimera of achieving a physically integrated institution in a color blind society and towards a
clearer vision of empowerment in a fair and just society, incorporating pluralism in a shared framework. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
