The Social Justice Statement and the Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience

My personal story of racial awareness

Mark the Martin Luther King, Jr holiday by reading my personal story

“The Social Justice Statement and the Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience”

Five years ago, this September, the “Social Justice and the Gospel” statement was issued. I was struck by how it demonstrated a blind spot about race, still. It's not racist. It simply demonstrates a lack of awareness even after what, to many, has seemed like obsessive talk about racism. It's two-dimensional in a three-dimensional world. So I wrote “The Social Justice Statement and the Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience” (published in The Christian Post.) < Click on the link to read this personal journey.

And sing along with us, an adaptation of the song “They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love”

Performed beautifully by Rachel Bee, Herby Hayes, and Joshua Carpenter.

The third verse was re-written:

We will work with each other,

We will work side by side. (x2)

And we’ll guard each one’s purity,

and be each other’s guide.
