The Church’s Role in Challenging Racism in the Public Square
The great challenge for the church is how do we reflect the nature of God? If we are the Body of Christ, the people of God, then we cannot just sing it and talk about it behind closed doors in so called religious spaces. It has to be lived. We, the church need to pattern what it means to be part of the one human race. The reality is that we cannot speak with any integrity to the world if our actions within the very church that we profess to belong to, tell a different story. Our words and action must be one, otherwise, those in the public square, will rightly say to us, ‘We cannot hear what you are saying because of what we see you doing.’
