Special Discussion for Teens on Racism and Bridging the Gap
Racism and Faith - Bridging the Gap - a Conversation
The US Bishops state:
"We are broken-hearted, sickened, and outraged to watch another video of an African American man being killed before our very eyes. What’s more astounding is that this is happening within mere weeks of several other such occurrences. This is the latest wake-up call that needs to be answered by each of us in a spirit of determined conversion.
Racism is not a thing of the past or simply a throwaway political issue to be bandied about when convenient. It is a real and present danger that must be met head on. As members of the Church, we must stand for the more difficult right and just actions instead of the easy wrongs of indifference. We cannot turn a blind eye to these atrocities and yet still try to profess to respect every human life. We serve a God of love, mercy, and justice."
We believe God wants to use the church to bridge the gap between people of different ethnicities for His glory.
We have certainly made progress, but there is still a gap between where we are and where Jesus wants us to be. In order to navigate this journey well, there are a few things we need to do. First, we need to embrace God’s vision for unity and reconciliation. Second, we need to listen well, weep with those who weep, and be open to believing people whose stories sound different than our own. Lastly, we need to keep the conversation going. This is a joyful and difficult journey, but it’s a journey that is divinely directed. So why don’t we travel it together?
