Some pastors face big challenges preaching on Charlottesville, white supremacy

I will love by resisting the institutional sin which suppresses the votes of those on the margins. I will love by resisting the institutional sin designed to keep the White House white.

We’ve seen a lot of hate over the last few days. Too much hate, too close to home. Sights and scenes that remind us of previous chapters in our nation’s history and all that still remains broken in our neighborhoods and in need of healing in our world.

Continually ruminating on our hurts and peeves creates a spiritual toxin which accumulates over time. The brain keeps sending and resending negative messages.

Decrying white nationalists is an ethical lay-up for which no white person should feel the slightest hint of self-congratulatory pride. To concretely repair racial injustices and facilitate socioeconomic advances for persons of color is the more difficult work to which we can commit ourselves.
