So some of you might know, I’m participating in a clergy exchange program sponsored by the Anti Defamation League of Houston. My exchange partner is Rev. Chris Lake, of Tree of Life Lutheran Church in Conroe. (We ought, by the way, seriously consider participating in this program of the ADL. Who wants to spearhead!?)
I caught this story on NPR…but what caught my eye the most was the initial comment.
What, the commenter asks, does Jesus have to do with Racism?
After I scooped my jaw up off the floor, I composed a relatively quiet response. And then I wondered…what would all of you say in response? You can leave comments on that site or this…but conversations about racism are conversations we really ought to be having.
Here’s a place to start.
