“Conservative Christians must wonder if such worldly ideologies have anything to offer Christians and scholars. But it is shocking that a so-called conservative denomination wants its messengers to ratify such post-modern influenced philosophies as ‘useful tools.’”
(Capstone Report) Concerns that J.D. Greear’s appointments to the 2019 Resolution’s Committee would promote Social Justice were well founded. The Resolution’s Committee report offers a resolution that promotes Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory.
According to RESOLUTION 9 – ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND INTERSECTIONALITY, “WHEREAS, Critical race theory and intersectionality alone are insufficient to diagnose and redress the root causes of the social ills that they identify, which result from sin, yet these analytical tools can aid in evaluating a variety of human experiences.”
And, in the Resolved section,
“RESOLVED, That critical race theory and intersectionality should only be employed as analytical tools subordinate to Scripture—not as transcendent ideological frameworks,” the resolution declares.
Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality have drawn sharp criticism from conservative Christians because they ARE transcendent ideological frameworks.
