Thank you, Mike. Until we have deep conversations, fewer book reads without action and "churchy" -- pleading guidance, we, as the church, will remain in our sins. We need people, like you (and a couple of others), white people, to accept the mantle for change because the wounded are tired. it is a fight we fight every single day. We can't breathe without whiteness trying to asphyxiate us. It would seem that in this season after Pentecost, we could actually have a church on fire for the truth. I am reminded of the quote from Rev. William Sparrow that greets you every time you enter the Bishop Payne library at Virginia Theological Seminary, "“Seek the Truth, Come Whence It May, Cost What It Will.”
