For each of the four claims from Oduyoye and Bantum below. Write the number of the page on which the quote appears. Then explain what the quote means in your own words, given the author's argument.

Oduyoye , African Women's Theology

1. "The triple burdens of racism, poverty and marginalization are countered by claims that Christ liberates from oppressive cultures".

2. "African women who have known Jesus, however, no longer fatalistically accept the given conditions. They refuse the Cross, as the end of their life's experience, for without the Resurrection, faith in Christ would no longer be unique. Jesus beckons them to endure the Cross, but promises fullness of life as the final outcome of their discipleship."

Bantum, "Why Christians Can't Be Post-Racial"

3. "To become a disciple is to account fot the ways race has formed us and shaped our vision of a Christian life that is disconnected from one another."

4. "However, this is not an occasion to appease our guilt, but to confess our similarities. It is not an occasion to lament the stupidity or narrowness of a few privileged white people but to lament our own participation, however small, on any given day. Christ frees us to confess."
