According to a study undertaken by Barna research group and published in August, just a tiny fraction of the American church feels obliged to repent of the country’s racist past.
In Where Do We Go from Here? just over 1,500 practicing Christians were asked what they believe should be done to make amends for the decades of racist history that plagued the United States.
Respondents were presented with several different answers to choose from, including: nothing; repair the damage; repent; pursue restitution; lament; and don’t know.
