Racism and white supremacy are deeply embedded in our culture and systems here in the United States and around the world. In 2020, the killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd opened the eyes of many white Americans to the lethality of racism and white supremacy. 

Jesus’s love shows no favoritism and, as Christians, we are called to love others as ourselves. What does love require of us? What actions are we called to take? 

The elimination of racism and dismantling of white supremacy requires ongoing commitment to love and antiracism. We invite you to continue in that work with us as we discuss racism and how to live out antiracist principles in our daily lives.
