“The Timeless Call for Racial Harmony” will address the history of race and the sin of racism in America, pieces of our present day situation, and a future hope rooted in the Church’s call to move forward with reconciliation and unity in the Kingdom of God. The Church’s call is to seek unity and healing following America’s abhorrent history of slavery, segregation and racial injustice. Join us as we continue this much-needed dialogue on race relations, poverty, and education in our nation and churches today.
