Description
Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.
Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.
Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.
Foreword by Jen Hatmaker
Advance Praise
“This book is our North Star, bright enough to illuminate the anti-racism path and bold enough to offer love for our souls along the way. This book transformed my weariness into a howl of hope in my chest. Osheta Moore challenges us to build peacemaking into our anti-racism work because there is no peace and no justice without the constellation of love.”
—DIANA K. OESTREICH, soldier turned peacemaker and author of Waging Peace
“Osheta Moore’s letter to her white siblings is a gift that we don’t deserve. It’s a labor of love straight from the soul of a Black woman who dares to believe that white folks can become peacemakers. This book is a one-of-a-kind pastoral invitation for you and me to come to the table as participants in the restorative revolution. I needed this, and I commend it with hope!”
—JER SWIGART, cofounder of The Global Immersion Project and coauthor of Mending the Divides
