It would be great to do something similar on Facebook. </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=13#post-58 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:22:34 +0000 brenc1 58@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>They actually have slightly different meanings. According to Websters Dictionary...</p> <p>Racism:<br /> 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race<br /> 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination </p> <p>Prejudice:<br /> 1: injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in disregard of one's rights ; especially : detriment to one's legal rights or claims2 a (1): preconceived judgment or opinion (2): an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge b: an instance of such judgment or opinion c: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics.</p> <p>It is my understanding that racism usually refers to the oppression of one group of people by another where as prejudice refers to pre-judging a group of people because of some characteristic about them (age, race, religion, etc). That is why some people argue that ethnic minority groups usually cannot exercise "racism" toward the majority group (because the don't have the power to do so) -- but any group can be prejudiced toward another group (unfortunately).</p> <p>Of course, both racism and prejudice are contrary to the teachings of Jesus and the early Christians. Hope that helps a little. </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=20#post-27 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:17:58 +0000 4unity 27@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>Does anyone know of a worship CD that has a variety of cultural styles? </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=19#post-26 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:10:35 +0000 4unity 26@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>Thanks! </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=16#post-23 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:59:31 +0000 brenc1 23@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>Yes we do -- the details are at: <a href="http://thenewculture.org/learn/onsite/">http://thenewculture.org/learn/onsite/</a> Please contact us if you have any questions or are interested in a hosting a training forum. </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=16#post-22 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:46:07 +0000 LLB 22@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>What are the details? </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=13#post-19 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:38:59 +0000 lottaquestions 19@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>Do racism and prejudice mean the same thing? </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=12#post-18 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:35:21 +0000 lottaquestions 18@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>We're having a really difficult time connecting with Hispanic churches/ministries in our area.

(Or atleast advertise via Facebook?) Might get more traffic... :) I see this was started a month ago... wow - a lot has changed in a month! </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=10#post-14 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:13:56 +0000 MDMattes 14@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>First, pray that question. Second, seek a Biblical response. Third, live as Christ. Finally hang out with people like Chad Brennan as you often reflect those people that you hang out with and I think Chad and the others of ReNew Partnerships are on to something with thenewculture.org. (And that is not a shameless plug, as I do not work for Renew Partnerships.) </p> <p>This is my first post, so I won't go too much into this question... yet. </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=10#post-13 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:55:16 +0000 Anonymous 13@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>What can a regular person do to help with the systemic issues (discrimination, policies dealing with the poor) of our country? </p> http://thenewculture.org/discuss/topic.php?id=8#post-10 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:49:26 +0000 brenc1 10@http://thenewculture.org/discuss/ <p>Any thoughts on this discussion forum?
