Even though our society has made great strides forward since the civil rights era, racial reconciliation remains an unresolved issue in the church. Norman Peart, founding pastor of a multiracial church and a sociologist, argues that reconciliation is basic to the church's purpose, even though the church has consistently viewed the topic as peripheral to its ministry. Peart shows through Scripture that, far from being optional, racial reconciliation is at the heart of the church's mission.
Aimed at pastors, church leaders, and concerned Christians, Separate No More focuses on three areas: the historical basis for America's race problem, the biblical message of racial reconciliation, and suggestions for change in the church.
Norman A. Peart (Ph.D., Michigan State University) is founder of Grace Ministries and founding pastor of Grace Bible Fellowship, a multiracial church plant in Cary, North Carolina, where he resides. His experience as an African American pastor and sociologist contributes to his expertise on race.
