A webinar on how it has changed us, and where the church should go from here.
On May 25, 2020, the brutal murder of George Floyd by officer Derek Chauvin shocked a global community and served as one of the primary catalysts, along with the killings of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, behind the racial reckoning that has dominated our society over the past year.
A day after the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death, six Christian scholars, ministers, and activists gathered to ponder, lament, and assess the meaning of a transformative year of revolution and introspection. How has it changed us, and where does the church go from here?
Our goal for this wide-ranging one-hour webinar was to highlight the diverse voices of Christian leaders who were intimately engaged in the church's pursuit of racial justice and reconciliation. We're pleased to share this recording of the event.
