Race, Ethnicity and Spirituality with Dr. Jim Lee

RECORDED PRIOR TO EVENTS OF MAY 25, 2020. It can really get
boring. It really can. What am I talking about? Race. Ethnicity.
Bias, Bigotry. Almost seems passé. Ahhh. Now that may not seem
like a compelling way to introduce a topic, but let me take a
stab at making the point. Just for fun I decided to open a
newspaper as I prepared for this show and see how long it would
take me to find an article on the subject. I opened the Wall
Street Journal. Remember we are talking about Race and Ethnicity
and this is the Wall Street Journal. Guess how long did it took
me to find an article on the subject? April 21 front page center
column. Ready? Headline: ‘The French Are Very Bad at Picking
Asparagus.’ Virus Imperils European Farming. The article go on to
discuss how Covid-19 raises questions about the viability of an
economic system built on borderless migration and a single
marketplace—especially in the bloc’s agricultural industry.


Now I am not new to such discussions living for the past 25 years
in California who’s crops depend upon migrant workers. I just
have a hard time talking about it in a politically correct way.
Somehow nationalities, skin color, cultures and accents are going
to be brought up and someone is going to get offended. 


The good news is we talk about Church here, so fortunately it
will be totally different. Surely spiritual people who believe in
Jesus are going to have better insights into Race & Ethnicity
than the crazy world out there!


 To help us at Church Hurts And navigate these waters we
have a very special guest. Dr. Jim Lee has bunch of impressive
degrees including two masters and a non-mail ordered doctorate,
is a licensed pilot, pastored churches all over the place and has
a family photo looks like a stock image under multi-ethnic.


Jim, I get so confused with this issue, I don’t know how to
begin. Jim, Welcome to Church Hurts And.
