A Moving Castle: Slathered With Good Humor and Charm

For those following the discussion of Pastors Wilson and Anyabwile regarding slavery, race, and racism (and for those, like me, who are just now catching up), I thought it might be helpful to post a list of links. Pastor Anyabwile has also compiled a "roundup" of their posts, including short sentence or paragraph-long summaries of the points made therein: that can be found below under the "A Black and Tan Roundup" link below. My list includes a couple of posts between Wilson and Loritts that were preliminary to the discussion, as well as one or two parenthetical posts made in the thick of things which were not direct answers to points made. I have also tossed in links to some of their related writings and other resources they cited for those interested in further reading. (If I have missed anything, let me know!)

This is a thoughtful and charitable discussion, which is rare, and it is conducted by two intelligent and godly men, which makes it an endangered species; particularly on such a volatile issue, and particularly in the midst of the interblags. It is educational and enjoyable for anyone thinking through these issues, and also for those who want an example of how to have "an adult discussion" on any topic.
