IX Marks & Social Justice Compromise

IX Marks & Social Justice Compromise

From Conversations That Matter by Jon Harris

About this episode

Jon Harris discusses the implications of IX Marks' resources on social justice and racial issues within evangelical churches.

Jon Harris details how IX Marks published resources that portrayed racism as a pervasive institutional problem in white evangelical churches, promoted racial reconciliation efforts that echoed leftist framing (such as rejecting color-blindness, emphasizing white privilege, and linking police incidents to systemic racism), expanded the gospel to include anti-racism work, normalized singleness and same-sex attraction in ways that downplayed biblical marriage and family, showed uneven responses to cultural issues (softer on LGBT matters early on while being more vocal on race), and navigated COVID lockdowns and politics with perceived inconsistencies.
