BODY LANGUAGE: A Conversation on Race + Restoration in the Body of Christ 

I agree 100%

How can someone do if they don’t know?

@@rubygriffin2558 That's a good point. Something to think about. :)

This is powerful.

I never thought about the difference either. As a black woman, any time I have these types of conversations I always talk from a place of understanding historical contexts.

Comments that begin with "black person wants" or "white person wants" are inherently racist because they teach that all black or all white want the same thing. When contrasted directly like this they are very racist because it teaches as fact that black and white are different in a non-biological way.

Thank you Frank. I am tired of having a cold heart and acting with indifference to the issues of race. I am from Canada and I have lived most of my life in other countries as a cultural minority including as a minority in the USA. But I have always been the most powerful person in the room because of my race. I want to use my power to raise up leaders from among the oppressed and the marginalized. Using my white privilege for my own gratification is an offense to God and keeps re-traumatizing my brothers and sisters of other races. This conversation needs to turn into change in laws, and financial policy and public policy.

I concur with Celina Quinone request and would like to purchase a copy of the tapes. I listened to the first tape that mysteriously appeared on my cell phone. Much of what Dr Anita Phillips articulated are things I heard our mother say about race issues in the church. My mother passed away in 1966 at 52. We were one of approximately 10 Black families reared in Anaconda Montana in the 40s and 50s. I was delighted when I heard Dr. Phillips articulated race in the scriptures! I am looking forward to listening to, sharing and discussing Dr. Phillips` tapes with some of my Psychology and Ministerial colleagues. Eventhough when I was in the Master's Program in The Institute of Black Catholic Studies at Xavier University, their classes on "Black Theology" just briefly touched on the correlation with Christianity never in as broad a way as your discussion did. I am delighted with the information on the tapes. Thank you so very much! Sincerely Rev. Dr. Fredericka Jackson

Celina C Quinones ......that’s a great observation! This conversation is SO necessary & relevant....I pray that many more will TAKE the time.....but some snippets released would probably reach so many more! Dr. Anita.......thank you SO much for this! Your wisdom, intelligence, passion and transparency are impeccable! Christine Caine.....thank you listening with a heart.....we can see that passion too!

YES 100000%!!!

This video should be played in malls, and public places everywhere in the United States. People need to process this information, digest it THEN allow it to feed their mind hearts and souls! This is on point like no other! Dr. Anita, You are The Chosen One for God’s language. I’m 60 years old and have been to all kinds of churches all over this country. Never Ever have I heard Christianity and it’s views by the “races” broken down like this! If this can’t be understood, I say simply, “( Shame).” I can only imagine God’s disappointment of us and our professing the Word, when we refuse to not allow the Word to speak loud and clear, plain and simple to our hearts. I’ll never forget when I was attending a Non Domination church in 07 and I had a church member friend in her early 60’s who was black and from Minnesota. She moved to CA and had been attending the church for a couple of years. One Friday sermon, the church music was playing and she began to dance to it. When the song was done, one of the leaders of the group, a female, called her aside and said, “ We can’t have any dancing in here.” When she shared that with me at a later date, I was floored. I’m like, “ How can someone tell you how not to worship God when you feel the Spirit??” It was The most bizarre thing I had heard in awhile.

This makes me so happy ❤️
