On Friday night, white supremacists assembled in Charlottesville, Va., for a public demonstration of hate. They held torches and chanted phrases like, “White lives matter!” and “Jews will not replace us!” After an event that the city’s mayor called an “unsanctioned and despicable display of visual intimidation,” white pastors have a critical role to play.
There is no greater need to apply the biblical call to “speak the truth in love” than in the area of white supremacy and the church.
As a Christian, I believe the church remains instrumental in dismantling the racial caste system in America.
