In Ephesians 6:12, Paul reminds us that the church's true enemies are not fleshly, but spiritual -- "cosmic powers of this dark age." At American Bible Society's February 2016 event titled "Under My Skin: Courageous Conversations around Race and the Church," this video captures the conversation that Arthur Satterwhite facilitated around how the Bible should "refocus" the lenses through which we see race, and by which we understand our role in contributing to the reconciliation of our communities. 

Message Title: Serving to Belong and Belonging to Serve - A Gospel Perspective

At the risk of gravely oversimplifying this matter, we most often lose hope and fail to find solutions not because we lack the capacity or the knowledge, or even the willpower to make the necessary changes.

In 2013, Arthur Satterwhite was invited to speak at New York Theological Seminary's annual Bible Summit.
