Race, Faith, & the Kingdom of God: Radical Inclusivity | Mark Charles Christ City Church 2021-11-15 | Guest preacher Mark Charles brings an eye-opening perspective on why the ministry of radical inclusivity is so hard, and yet still possible through the Holy Spirit. [Acts 10]--Mark Charles is a dynamic and thought-provoking public speaker, writer, and consultant. The son of an American woman (of Dutch heritage) and a Navajo man, he teaches with insight into the complexities of American history regarding race, culture, and faith in order to help forge a path of healing and conciliation for the nation. He is one of the leading authorities on the 15th-century’s Doctrine of Discovery and its influence on US history and its intersection with modern-day society. Mark co-authored, along with Soong-Chan Rah, the new book entitled “Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery ” (IVP, 2019). Mark ran as an independent candidate for the US Presidency in the 2020 election.
