Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm: The American Methodist Church and the Struggle with White Supremacy Elford John
Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm summons the reader on a most unusual journey through Methodist history. From the founding of the church in the late eighteenth century to the present, we have too often been silent bystanders or active accomplices in the enormous harm caused by racism. Along the way, we discover how the White American Methodist Church became deeply entangled with White supremacy.
And yet, if we want to transform the world toward a different and better future for all, one free of the stranglehold of racism, we must come to terms with the story of our past--the whole story! It's a complicated and shameful story few Methodists know. Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm is a trustworthy guide into the church's troubled history.
It's also a present-day call to action that finds inspiration in those Methodists who stood against the tide and those guiding the church today
