Brews at Moody Bible Institute
A social media controversy involving race, Christianity and the concept of white privilege has been brewing at Moody Bible Institute after a forum hosted last week by an African-American student group.
The Tuesday event, called "White Like Me" and sponsored by a campus student group known as Embrace, was billed as presenting "thoughts on race from the perspective of a privileged person."
A photo was posted on Facebook a few days later showing a flier used to promote the event in which the word "privileged" was scratched out.
Subsequently, a Moody professor posting from his personal Facebook account commented about the event and flier promoting it, fueling online discussion by saying that, "Using the term 'white' to categorize millions of people under one catch-all term, then pegging them as elite oppressors, is offensive on its face and unworthy of Christian discourse."
