Certain causes or issues will flare up for a time, causing us all get all excited. Many of us get onboard, only to jump into the next concern that catches our attention.

Racial injustice is a symptom of a much deeper problem. Racism is another way of not loving your neighbor as yourself. I believe that true and lasting change will only come as we in the church reorder our lives around the life of Christ.

Lead Bishop of AMiA, Philip Jones, discusses the need for each church to have a conversation about racism.
