Episode 2
The second part of the conversation between Darnell and Neil, they dig deep about the goals and purposes of Coat of Colours and the representation of people of color in all aspects of the life of the church. They address the issues of avoiding tokenism vs. consistent involvement and what it means to be an active vs. a passive participant. Both share it’s in honest conversations that white-dominated spaces can learn to work harmoniously with communities of color.
Perhaps it’s the work to be done and the honest conversations to be spoken that keep people of color coming back.
