How Do We Respond?
Our country has been racked by upheaval and unrest as we have been confronted by the long-reaching effects of racism in the form of police brutality, mass incarceration, and discrimination. In response to our nation’s crisis, many in the church have asked the question of “how do we respond as Christians to the injustices that we see today?” The problems that we are reckoning with seem so complex and deep rooted, which can paralyze us into inaction. However, we believe that the church has a responsibility to confront evil and injustice in all of its forms as a witness to the character of the God that we follow.
This conviction that God calls us to confront injustice has guided our ministry in underserved communities over the last 60 years. It has driven us to also equip and empower Christians who share our vision to pursue biblical justice and reconciliation in their own communities. We want to be an example and to provide resources to help answer the questions that Christians have about how they can confront injustice today. We have highlighted resources that Christians can use to learn more about the realities of racism and injustice, the Biblical basis of justice and reconciliation, and practical ways that they can start being a part of the solution.
