Prasanta Verma | Fighting Ethnic Loneliness Together

What is like to be the only one who looks like you in a room? Ethnic loneliness is a pervasive feeling for ethnic minorities in the U.S. and in churches. In this conversation, Prasanta Verma talks me through:

What ethnic loneliness is and what it looks likeHow the church has been complicit in perpetuating this loneliness and its entanglement with systemic racismWhat to do instead of forcing assimilation in the name of unityHow individuals and churches can be effective friends, advocates, and allies in the fight against ethnic loneliness and systemic racism
