The issue of Negative Ethnicity will dominate the Fifth Week. Our ethnic groups are an inescapable reality. This should, however, not be a source of conflict. We must celebrate our diversity and look at how we can share with others our rich cultural inheritance. To this end, we must shun negative ethnicity where we demean other communities by our thinking that we are better. Negative ethnicity goes against the teachings of Christ. In Galatians 3:27, Paul reminds us that there is no more Jew or Greek, female or male, and slave and free. We are all created in the image and likeness of God. For this reason, we must appreciate all people if we are going to be children of God.
