The other evangelicals – The Immanent Frame: "Across the country in Atlanta—in a decidedly different social and political environment—I encountered the same spirit of openness and intellectual humility across difference in multiple evangelical contexts. In a disadvantaged historically black neighborhood in Atlanta, for example, white evangelicals are getting an immersive crash course in intersectional inequality through “strategic relocation”—the intentional practice of moving into disadvantaged urban contexts in order to learn from and participate with residents in projects of social empowerment and transformation. Their experiences have transformed these white evangelicals’ understanding of racial and economic inequality, politics and social change, their faith, and themselves. Strategic relocation has also led them to abandon ineffective and paternalistic strategies of social engagement in favor of collaborative strategies built on reciprocal relationships across difference."
