This course will examine the relation between race, gender, and ethnicity from the perspective of different multicultural identities and theological understandings, evaluating how religious structures have constructed these relations and challenged these dynamics. Analyzing the various church contexts and social constructions, we will aim to re-evaluate diverse theoretical and experimental discussions among different ethnic groups in a global context as well as in American context. This course will introduce the student to broader views of multi-layers of dynamics between race, gender, and ethnicity in various church contexts such as White/African American/Asian/Asian American/Hispanic/other immigrant churches and multicultural congregations. It will investigate how church life and ministry interact with sociopolitical and cultural structures and how these processes impact people’s everyday lives. This course will also re-evaluate various people’s different struggles including racism, classism, sexism, and colonialism and re-discover their transforming power. We will analyze the issues of race, gender/sex, body, age, and class in the North American context and understand the issues of colonial and post-colonial structures within American society and beyond. This course will offer several possibilities for a new understanding of Christian church and society.
