WALTER STRICKLAND: Reading the Bible and doing theology in a homogeneous group limits humanity’s ability to understand all that God is doing in Scripture.
EBC Manifesto, Article VI: Racial Reconciliation
MATTHEW Y. EMERSON AND R. LUCAS STAMPS: We affirm that all people, regardless of race, ethnicity or gender, are created in God's image and, if they have repented and believed in Christ, are brothers and sisters together in the one body of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Because of this shared imago dei and because of Christ's saving work among all nations, peoples, and tongues, we believe that one major task of Baptist catholicity is to promote racial unity, especially within the body of Christ.
