How do God’s people “bind up the brokenhearted” in Jesus’ name in a society as torn apart by violence, oppression, and strife as ours is currently? While taking steps forward in hopes that the major brunt of the COVID-19 crisis might be past, the death of George Floyd has sparked a wave of public conflict over racism at levels beyond all recent memory. We are in the middle of another crisis — an older, deeper, and wider one — marked by racial inequities, racial oppression, and racial violence. How should the church of Jesus Christ, in particular the PCA, respond at this moment in the American narrative?
Mission to North America is hosting weekly panel discussions with PCA leaders to address Racial Brokenness in America and Our Gospel Response. We encourage you to tune in to these important conversations.
The next discussion will be broadcast on Facebook Live Thursday, June 25th. Watch here.
TE Howard Brown will moderate.
