White Evangelicals, This Is Your Moment: A Response to Ahmaud Arbery

from Rachel Conner at Jesus Creed:

The white evangelical church has a long and lamentable history of silence when African Americans are under attack. Wouldn’t this be the right time to stand with the African American community and say these senseless killings have got to stop? Wouldn't it be beneficial to expand your abortion views and resources to include the value of life AFTER birth? Jesus’ gospel was an inclusive one as we see in Acts10. Jesus' gospel calls us to solidarity, peacemaking and partnership with each other. This is where the message of the gospel could change the world. Let’s remember Ephesians 2:14-16: "Christ is our peace. He made both Jews and Gentiles into one group. With his body, he broke down the barrier of hatred that divided us. He cancelled the detailed rules of the Law so that he could create one new person out of the two groups, making peace. He reconciled them both as one body to God by the cross, which ended the hostility to God."
