摘要

指导这项研究的核心问题是当种族正义，特别是反黑人种族主义的项目由白人进步基督徒及其教会承担时，会发生什么？承认宗教是种族化的，可以让我们的学术研究更有辨别力，不那么天真，尤其是关于种族正义的真正潜力--即使是在那些最忠实地试图成为反种族主义者的人中间。根据从美国和加拿大与浸礼会联盟（一个明确致力于反种族主义的教派）结盟的会众那里收集到的初步数据，我将重点放在几个重要的动态因素上，并简要归纳为七个主题：（1）正确对待，（2）志愿反种族主义者，（3）会众政治，（4）遭遇阻力，（5）寻求合作，（6）将白人作为一种现成的工具，以及（7）黑人成员的肯定。随着数据收集工作的不断深入，本研究仍将继续开放，以便在进一步分析的过程中提出更多见解并修正初步结论。

Racial Justice and Racialized Religion: Are Progressive White Christians Getting It Right?

The core question guiding this research is: What happens when the project of racial justice, specifically, anti-black racism, is taken on by white progressive Christians and their churches? Acknowledging religion as racialized allows our scholarship to be more discerning and less naive, especially regarding the true potential of racial justice—even among those who are most faithfully attempting to become antiracist. Drawing from preliminary data collected from congregations in the United States and Canada aligned with the Alliance of Baptists, a denomination explicitly committed to antiracism, I focus on a few significant dynamics, briefly summarized under seven themes: (1) Getting It Right, (2) The Volunteer Antiracist, (3) Congregational Politics, (4) Encountering Resistance, (5) Soliciting Cooperation, (6) Instrumentalizing Whiteness as a Ready Tool, and (7) Affirmation from Black Members. As data collection continues, this research remains open to developing more insights and revising tentative conclusions as the analysis proceeds further.

期刊介绍： Sociology of Religion, the official journal of the Association for the Sociology of Religion, is published quarterly for the purpose of advancing scholarship in the sociological study of religion. The journal publishes original (not previously published) work of exceptional quality and interest without regard to substantive focus, theoretical orientation, or methodological approach. Although theoretically ambitious, empirically grounded articles are the core of what we publish, we also welcome agenda setting essays, comments on previously published works, critical reflections on the research act, and interventions into substantive areas or theoretical debates intended to push the field ahead. Sociology of Religion has published work by renowned scholars from Nancy Ammerman to Robert Wuthnow. Robert Bellah, Niklas Luhmann, Talcott Parsons, and Pitirim Sorokin all published in the pages of this journal. More recently, articles published in Sociology of Religion have won the ASA Religion Section’s Distinguished Article Award (Rhys Williams in 2000) and the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion’s Distinguished Article Award (Matthew Lawson in 2000 and Fred Kniss in 1998). Building on this legacy, Sociology of Religion aspires to be the premier English-language publication for sociological scholarship on religion and an essential source for agenda-setting work in the field.
