We must ensure that those in power do not succumb to human weakness, depriving those in their charge of the justice that God so passionately wants for all.
Only syncretized faiths value the supremacy of human laws. We value truth. The truth is that the state took another Black girl from her family under the pretense of safety, and then it killed her.
But underneath all the labeling and naming and putting into groups are people. People with lives and loves and jobs to do. People with hopes and dreams.
Some of us think it’s time to wake up and face the reality of racial disparity that will not go away. As the church, we have the power to bring these wicked deeds to the light and work for change.
