Abstract

America's greatest dilemma is the race problem. While America has prided itself on its democratic ideal and its churches have sought to solve social justice problems, racial injustice continues to frustrate unity and trust among the races. Through education, cross-racial appointments, interracial dialogues, marches and rallies, the church has voiced its intolerance of racial injustice. The purpose of this paper is to provide another way clergy and the church may address the race problem. This new way presupposes a correlation between the Christian faith (the philosophy of nonviolence expounded by Dr Martin Luther King, Jr) and analytical psychology (Carl G Jung's concepts of the 'shadow' and to a lesser degree the 'self'). To a lesser degree the paper suggests, with Dr King as a prime example, that the degree to which one is able to realize the 'self' has a positive impact on one's public and private life, and the spirit of America as a whole. This paper concludes with some clues to enhance the growth of the ministering person and the effectiveness of one's ministry with respect to racial equality.
