Eight Questions About Race: A Black Pastor Responds to Black Lives Matter

by Bishop Aubrey Shines

Overview

People of faith have been in the vanguard of civil rights for 150 years, and like all Americans of good will, they wish to be on the right side of the divisive issue of racial justice. Yet many have qualms and questions about the goals and methods espoused by Black Lives Matter, which claims to speak for all Americans of color.

Is America really a racist society? Have we truly failed our African-American friends and neighbors on issues of equality and fairness? What is Black Lives Matter? Who are its leaders? What do they want? Does BLM really represent the interests of black Americans? Above all, what is the appropriate Christian response to the raging debate about race and justice in America?

These and other questions are addressed with clarity, sensitivity, deep knowledge of the subject, and a strong foundation in biblical faith by Bishop Aubrey Shines. This brief but informative book offers a guide and handy reference for pastors and congregants alike on how to think and talk about these profoundly challenging questions from a Christian perspective.

About the Author

Bishop Aubrey Shines, a Chicago native, began ministering in the Cook County Correctional System in Chicago, IL. He has a bachelor’s degree in Theology, and a master’s degree in Divinity.

He is the founder of G2G Ministries, Inc.—a ministry that has since transcended denominational, cultural, and ethnic boundaries.

Being convinced and assured that the Bible is the true Word of God, Pastor Shines travels extensively, sounding the alarm across America and never divorcing his biblical ministry from cultural or political issues. He compels the church to return to what our forefathers established and to live by what God has ordained in His Word, without compromise, addressing the most pressing issues of our day: those relating to righteousness.

In June 2020, Bishop Shines founded and became chairman of Conservative Clergy of Color, whose mission is to deliver truthful narratives on the issues of racism throughout our influential network of pastors and across multiple media channels to prevent the destruction of our country driven by increasingly divisive forces.
