Why Critical Race Theory in the Church?

 I am mystified by discussions of CRT being taught in seminaries. The old adage remains: whenever the church marries itself to a secular philosophy, it will be a widow in ten years.

Why would believers need a Marxist-based theory (which is wrong not so much because of specific attitudes about capital and wealth* but because it denies God and His sovereignty and purpose in history, denies the Biblical view of human nature, and denies the basis of Christian moral and ethical living)?

Is not the record of the early church enough, how much it had to fight against ethnocentrism and racism and assert plainly that there is no wall of separation between Jew and Gentile? That clearly leaders in the church were from different races and ethnic groups?

Do we think the U.S. is the first nation that ever had a racism problem? Seriously? And do we really think white people are the only racists who ever lived?

I do not speak of the secular world. I speak of the body of Christ. We need only embrace what is taught in the New Testament (not the Old—we are not living then and there).  Following the teachings of Jesus and the apostles will cause our repentance on this issue, not a secular philosophy determined to separate and divide and gain power. 

*Just to clarify, I know Marxism is wrong about wealth creation and economics, but that's not the point of this post.
