Racism

My paradox for the day...how can someone proclaim themselves Christian yet be overtly racist?

Racism is one of the great contradictions of the Gospel in modern times. I have come to believe that those who do not oppose racism publicly and rigorously are actually part of the problem and can contribute to further injustice. No one can be neutral or silent in the face of this great evil.

Through my daughter's adoption we have become much more aware of the passive (and some not so passive) racism that exists everywhere. We are being called more and more to be more actively anti-racist in our lives and actions. I feel so unqualified for this task, yet would do anything for my children. God doesn't call the qualified, but qualifies the called.
