Our network of US City Leaders came together on June 18 for a discussion on how the church can better facilitate the healing and reform needed to address racial injustices in our country. Rick Russo of��Gloo.us��reported recent survey results from pastors highlighting the realities and insecurities they face in leading their congregations. Alan Platt of��Doxa Deo��compared South Africa’s transition since the end of apartheid to our current situation in the U.S. saying, ���We’re not talking just about legislation, although that’s one component of this journey.��We’re in essence talking about transformation, which needs to happen in the hearts of people.��� And Michael Allen of��Together Chicago��discussed the expansion of this national conversation to include violent crime within African American communities, sometimes referred to as�����Black on Black��� crimes and concerns about the value of every life.
