Xenophobia and Racial Justice
There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
Today, it seems that our country, and our world, is more divided than ever. There are messages all around convincing us to believe the divisive arguments of “us versus them”. However when we look at Scripture we see that God is a god of unity, compassion, and inclusion.
We must ask ourselves, what our role is in ensuring that our communities are inclusive and equal. Are there racial divisions around me and what is my response?
