Foreword


            CHRIST’s  reconciliation  is  instant  and  lasting!  HE  not
            only reconciled humankind to ALMIGHTY GOD, HE also

            reconciled  mankind  with  each  other.  In  so  doing,  HE
            cast  away  all  pretense  and  strife  between  diverse

            cultures and ethnicities.  The work of reconciliation in
            all  its  permutations  is  complete!  We  simply  must

            accept it and start walking in it today!

            The issue then becomes; why does the Christian Church

            continue  to  pray  for  GOD  to  bring  about  racial
            reconciliation - to accomplish something that JESUS has

            already done?  We believe the reason is twofold.   The
            Church Body as a whole has abdicated its leadership role

            and  also  does  not  fully  understand  its  leadership  role
            regarding race related issues.


            We will endeavor to uncover the underlying reasons that
            have caused the Church to drift away from Biblical Truth

            regarding race, and ultimately bring the reader back to
            The  Truth  of  reconciliation,  as  revealed  in  Ephesians

            2:10-22.

            Finally,  we  shall  offer  some  strategies  that  may  be

            undertaken  for  Christians  and  the  Church  Body  as  a
            whole  to  reclaim  its  GOD  ordained  leadership  role  as

            Ministers of Reconciliation. In so doing, we have divided
