Many proposed solutions have been helpful, but these only take us so far. Adding to this complex situation is the reality that Christians of different races see the issues George Yancey surveys a range of approaches to racial healing that Christians have used and offers a new model for moving forward. The first part of th analyzes four secular models regarding race used by Christians (colorblindness, Anglo-conformity, multiculturalism and white responsibility) and shows how each has its own advantages and limitations. Part two offers a new \"mutual responsibility\" model, which acknowledges that both majority and minority cultures have their own challenges, tendencies, and sins to repent of, and that people of different races approach racial reconciliation and justice in differing but complementary \'s vision offers hope that people of all races can walk together on a shared path--not as adversaries, but as partners.
