My Prayer on the Eve of the Derek Chauvin Trial
The death of George Floyd has underscored a hunger in our cities and around the world for justice, reconciliation, and renewal.
Pastor Matthew St. John
“LORD, be merciful to us!”
Isaiah 33:2
When churches convey (explicitly or implicitly) that race & ethnicity are topics they'd rather not talk about, it communicates to ethnic minorities that a *huge* part of their daily lived experience is not welcome or meaningful to God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who stood for Christ and against not just Hitler but also the Christendom of his day, penned this benediction from prison: “May God in his mercy lead us through these times; but above all, may he lead us to himself.”
