The Book of Acts as a Case Study : Examining the Ministry of Reconciliation
This literature review identifies ethnic diversity and reconciliation as a consistent theme throughout the book of Acts and explores some of the sociological, educational, and theological factors that help identify reconciliation as a ministry of the early church. This meta-analysis explores foundational concepts that develop an understanding of biblical reconciliation, examines the concept of “ethnicity” as it arises out of the biblical text, and describes the historical context and backdrop of the time of Jesus and the early church. After having established these concepts, the author will walk through the book of Acts, processing the various narratives with these concepts, in the mix of biblical exegesis, considering how reconciliation, inclusiveness, and social justice are part of the Spirit’s work in each of our lives as we influence our homes, churches, schools, and communities

Exploring White Racial Identity Development within Christian Colleges
Racial identity development is a growth process in which many college students engage as they regularly interact with peers and instructors from diverse backgrounds. As compositional diversity, as well as diversity of thought, lags at Christian colleges, the purpose of this qualitative, narrative study was to understand how White students who have undergone significant progress in their racial identity development, describe their process while attending predominantly White, evangelical, Christian colleges. Three participants from three Christian colleges/universities were interviewed, a total of nine, White student participants. One college was located in the Pacific Northwest and two colleges were located in Southern California. The participant’s narratives revealed that there were factors that facilitated their growth process and factors that impeded their growth process regarding racial identity development. Each factor had external and internal dimensions. Four major categories were identified as the factors that facilitated and impeded racial identity development were combined with the external and internal dimensions. The content and figures in this article were developed from the re- searcher’s doctoral dissertation (Kinoshita, 2018)
