- "The Church has a responsibility to promote racial justice in its own ranks as well as society in general. Mukasa provides appropriate tools for the Church to live out its faith in action; to end racism, ethnocentrism, classism, sexism, ageism and heterosexism. As the world becomes a global village, the need to understand the dynamics of fear fed by distrust and the misunderstanding of difference grows. Those with the power to define others seem to be gaining ground. It is imperative for the Church to be inclusive in its confession. Mukasa demonstrates how the United Church struggles to listen to stories of the marginalized and to affirm their subjectivity as part of its comprehensive policy against racism" (p. vii). .... "Mukasa devotes a considerable part of his discussion to the analysis of the Anti Racism policy of the United Church" (p. viii). -- Foreword.
