Again, my paper outline looks similar. I hope to turn it into Wess today so that I can get some feedback. I particularly need some help in considering how to use the anthropological model. I ran into difficulties learning how to discover God in another culture while trying to evangelize to them. This is foreign to all the ministry and evangelism I have ever been taught to do. So, I am trying to add the kingdom perspectives into the middle portion of my paper because I think they will do a much better job at evangelizing than I could ever develop on my own. In this portion of the paper I do not know if picking a particular group (such as African Americans) was helpful or not. I am so far removed from African Americans and I do not know if their culture is much different from mine.
The first part of the paper discussed race and how I see it alive in culture today. A difficulty I had with this part of the paper was I used Barker’s term “black” to refer to someone who is African American. However, not all “blacks” are African American. So, I’m not sure what to write in the rest of my paper—especially because Bevans used “African American.”
In the last portion of the paper I wrote about how I see race addressed in the church and my local community. I think my church works hard to not discriminate due to race and they are actively working within a community that is multi-racial. I was not sure if it was ok to write about what I would like to do to end racism. I ended up saying what I would do in my church to address racism.
I hope I am on the right track.
