If you don't want to be "of the world," be an antiracist

Not conforming to the patterns of this world Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.—Romans 12:2 The renewal of our minds that Paul is writing about here to the church in Rome refers to a new way of doing things, a reordering of our thinking, and a reordering of our society. The church fundamentally resists and operates out of a different set of rules, and Paul is clearly interested in reordering a radical alternative to the way of the world. I think this is something that many Christians across all political and philosophical stripes agree with. Richard Niehbur called it “Christ Against Culture” in his book about Christian ethical typologies. As an Anabaptist, I am largely amenable to this.
