The Movement Continues…
The Racial Justice Movement Matters to God. Humanity and all of creation matters to God. All cultures and ethnicities are equally loved and created in the image of God. Racial equity, diversity, and inclusion matter to God. We are, all of us – no exceptions – members of the human family, equally loved and cherished by the Creator. God did not create superior or inferior people groups. Our calling to practice racial justice as those who seek to follow this Abundant Creator is to build a world that honors each one’s inherent dignity and worth as beloved ones of the Holy One.
Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness…” So God created Humankind in God’s image…God saw everything that God had made and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:26-27, 31 NRSVUE)
“We must truthfully confront our history of racial injustice before we can repair its painful legacy.”
Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative
