“In this book, longtime church leader Charles Davis applies a
distinctively missionary analysis to the worn-out ecclesiologies of our
time. But it’s not all critique and analysis: built on narrative and
experience, he lovingly provides the church with a very useful
diagnostic tool that gives us viable pathways toward renewal of church
life and mission. I am grateful for this book.”
Alan Hirsch, founding director of Forge Missional Training Network and author of The Forgotten Ways

America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege and the Bridge to a New America
Sponsored by the City Club of San Diego and First United Methodist Church
Bestselling author and leading Christian activist explores America’s deep-rooted problem with race.
Fifty years ago, Jim Wallis was driven away from his faith by a
white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo. His
participation in the civil rights movement brought him back when he
discovered a faith that commands racial justice. Yet as recent tragedies
confirm, we continue to suffer from the legacy of racism. In his new book,
America’s Original Sin, Wallis offers a prophetic and deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so ingrained in American society.
