This Table Talk is the conversation that we all want to have but few of us get around to ... it's challenging; fear-inducing; lots of resistance - but richly rewarding. In the longest (and maybe best) BWM podcast, Ken and Osahon welcome six of the table talk participants. They all share the powerful impact of the five weeks we spent together working through the fourteen episodes of SEEING WHITE, a podcast that traces the history of "whiteness" in America. You'll hear from Kahlmus, Megan, Margaret, Zak, Cathy, and Jay with insightful commentary by Osahon. You'll hear much about one in our group named "James." You can find my conversation with James Ross here. Our conclusion: we all experienced what Martin Luther King called, "the Beloved Community." SHOW NOTES

Ken Kemp facilitated a five week long virtual discussion around Scene on Radio Series, Seeing White.
This podcast is an overview of the life-changing project. It’s a conversation that we all agree is needed. It was a long time coming. We’ll never be the same.
Here’s their course description
Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it’s an old story.
Why? Where did the notion of “whiteness” come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?
Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen took a deep dive into these questions, along with an array of leading scholars and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika, in this fourteen-part documentary series, released between February and August 2017. The series editor is Loretta Williams.
The Fellowship Center for Racial Reconciliation has been established to lead our church and community in the conversation and practice of racial reconciliation. The aim is to create a Gospel-Centered environment that leads to active engagement in difficult conversations over a period of time that results in individual and systemic reconciliation.
