A Statement About Racism
| “It
is urgent for Christian leaders to speak into this racially charged
moment of our nation's history. Silence in this matter can be
interpreted as complicity with a demonically empowered status quo that
prefers one kind of human over another. Please do not opt out. Call us
all not only to repentance and faith but also service. Challenge us to
ask the Holy Spirit to empower us for mission. May God help our churches
become beacons of healing, serving our deeply divided communities in
the Name of Jesus Christ.” Bishop Gregory O. Brewer National Chaplain |
We are living in sad times. An underwhelming sadness clouds my days. It seems like déjà vu — one more time. I have lived through the segregation in the 1950’s, sit-ins in the1960’s, integration, marches and Black Power in the 1970’s, and the glass ceiling of corporate America in the 2000’s. As a nation of peoples, we have now come to a time when men and women of color are in danger for simply living. Say his name! George Floyd! Running while black! Sleeping while black! It is easy to slip into hopelessness and anger while our nation wrestles with the sin of racism. I could choose to live in fear, but I choose differently. I choose to turn again and find joy in my God.
