North Point Community Church Ministry Rife With Critical Race Theory Propaganda
Fostering Together is a ministry of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Part of their Care Network overseen by pro-LGBTQ pastor Debbie Causey, the ministry is designed to encourage and support foster parents, providing resources for the foster parents to be successful in their endeavors and encouraging families to consider foster care in the first place.
Fostering Together offers orientations for anyone wanting to take on various roles, from cooking for the foster family on a monthly basis, providing transportation services, being a respite family who can babysit and give the foster family a break if needed, to becoming a foster parent yourself.
It’s a good work and something all churches should have.What’s not good about it is their list of recommended resources. Aside from having more professional resources, they also offer an extensive list of racial reconciliation resources “recommended by other foster and adoptive parents.”
The list reads like a who’s who of all the worst players within the Critical Race Theory realm. Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X Kendi, Austin Channing Bown, Robin DiAngelo and Jennifer Harvey. If you wanted to be imbued with notions of white fragility, assertions that all white people are inherently racist, and propaganda regarding intersectionality, colorism, anti-racism, equity, racialized identity, reparations, white privilege, and identity politics, then you found the right spot.
To offer a counterpoint to just one book on this list, Tim Challies reviewed Robin DuAngelo’s White Fragility, concluding, “This is a bad book and one that is unlikely to serve Christians as we consider issues related to race, racism, and racial reconciliation…it is built upon the rotten foundation of identity politics…it redefines racism…it sets the trap of white fragility…and it prescribes the unhelpful solution of antiracism.”
Unfortunately, promoting and lauding Critical Race Theory and its adjacent beliefs are on trend for the church. Pastor Andy Stanley has previously claimed that “White people fear black men. That’s not fair. But it’s true“ and regurgitated Ibram X. Kendi’s claim that all white folks are racist and insisting“It’s not enough to be ‘not-racist, you must become “anti-racists.”
