Anti-racist religious education of evangelical children in Camacã
evangelical child – racial consciousness – anti-racist christian education
Non-formal education in evangelical churches is still based on hegemonic theology at the service of coloniality and which does not contribute to the positive affirmation of black identity. This research investigated the racial literacy and the process of development of the ethnic-racial identity of the evangelical child in the Renewed Presbyterian Church of Camacã. For this purpose, it used observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers, family members and adults of the church; story telling and directed activity in the children's room; and questionnaires answered by leaders of the main religions of the city. The research identified that although black people are the majority in the church, black color is associated with fair and dirt, and both children and adults identify as brunettes. Moreover, the fight against racism is based on the principle of equality before God, with the payment of ethnic-racial differences and inequalities and without affirmative actions of black identity. Using the promotion of an anti-racist Christian education, an e-book was prepared with children's tales, based on black theology, from the rereading of biblical narratives
