Born Apart, Becoming One delves deeply into the relationship between the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and its pro-reconciliation/anti-racism initiative with the goal of empowering individuals and congregations to actively dismantle institutional racism. William Chris Hobgood, the former General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), emphasizes that engaging with racism is essential for the vitalization of 21st Century congregations. The book has three sections:
1. an examination of the church's history in relation to racism,
2. exploration of core elements that provide opportunities for anti-racism work, and
3. strategies to move forward in the fight against racism.
The discussions are rooted in the larger framework of being God's people and part of the church of Jesus Christ. Acknowledging the pain and offense caused by racism, Hobgood also expresses gratitude for those who bravely confront it. Hobgood emphasizes that overcoming racism requires whites to acknowledge and relinquish their privilege, while recognizing the support, care, and partnership of People of Color who continue to demonstrate love for God and Jesus Christ, even amidst the struggles.
