Title: A Catholic Response to RACISM | Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers | Episode #060
Notes:
Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers – known around the world as the “Dynamic Deacon” – is one of the most sought-after speakers in the Church today. He is a powerful and passionate evangelist and preacher whose no-nonsense approach to living and proclaiming the Catholic faith will challenge and inspire those who hear him.
Deacon’s newest book, Building a Civilization of Love – A Catholic Response to Racism, dives deep into the void in our culture today that is being filled by people using racism as a vehicle to push a different agenda. The conversation starts with an academic separation of prejudice and racism and a review of slavery in the scriptures. Deacon goes on to highlight that the only antidote to racism is Jesus.
