By Andrew Russell, Samford University

Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School and its Institute of Anglican Studies will host the Racial Reconciliation and the National Covenant conference at Samford Feb. 12-13. The conference will be jointly sponsored with the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD), based in Washington, D.C.

This event will bring Protestants, Catholics and Jews together to answer the question: How does thinking about God change the way we think about race?

Talks at the conference will address covenant and race in the Hebrew Scriptures, exile and return from slavery, white supremacy, Martin Luther King Jr.’s appeal to the national covenant and many other subjects.
