For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
From the Letter of James, chapter 2, verses 2-4

6. Engage Video suggestion … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AtRk4tx13k
Some discussion ideas …
What does it feel like to be discriminated against?
What can discrimination do to a person?
Can you name any famous cases where someone has stood up against discrimination?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion …
Talk in pairs about how we can we stop discrimination?

7. Respond

Dear God,
Give us a understanding of how not to discriminate against people, allow us to treat everyone with the kindness and respect they deserve.
Amen
Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

8. Go out into the world with the light of Christ

Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
