My Worldview Essay

My background influenced my worldview, from a biblical standpoint and from real life experiences. I was born an African American child Memphis, TN, in 1960. I grew up in what was considered the segregated south. As a young child, I did not experience or understand what segregation meant as I grew up around children who looked like me. It was not until I became a teen did I get a picture of segregation. My religious upbringing consisted of belonging to the Seventh Day Adventist faith. Seventh-day Adventists belief the Bible as the only source of religious beliefs based as a result of the Protestant conviction Sola Scriptura, that the Bible is the only standard of faith and practice for Christians (“Seventh Day”, 2016, p. 1).
