Description
Throughout history, the Church has recognized its place in speaking into the broader culture around us. God designed us, and He knows both what our societies need to thrive and what causes their decay. As Christians in our city and country, we want to speak with wisdom, grace, and clarity about what leads to human flourishing as a testament to the truth of God’s word and the power of the Gospel to bring life. That’s why we’ve created a series of events called “The Public Square,” preparing us to contribute faithfully in spaces where people and opinions interact.
Our next topic is Racism and the Gospel. The past year plus has drawn out hard-fought perspectives, often communicated without much humility or love. The church has certainly not been immune to this. In the midst of our continuing national conversation about the reality, extent, and impact of racism, we want to persevere in speaking with clarity and trusting what Scripture says about this often confusing and painful topic.
