• In our reading from "Open Wide our Hearts," we reflected on racism in light of the Christian faith. How can racism and discrimination be evaluated from the perspective of our module readings? How might the idea that society and people as individuals need conversion of the heart help us rethink race relations and a long history of discrimination in the human family? How might the idea of conversion of heart help transform us and our culture? What elements of culture do the readings (or your research) suggest need conversion?
