Quotes:

• “If we say we follow Jesus this should not be a problem for us. If it is, we have to talk about and confront the ugly history of our faith tradition that we don’t want to.”

• “This is the reality we live in. This is the history of our country. This is the history of our faith. We are not gonna get anywhere if we just can’t tell the truth.”

• “We can talk about complex things like trinitarianism, but we can’t get race right. There are reasons for that.”

• “What it means for us to live in community, is when I see my brother or sister walking in a way that isn’t becoming of the Lord, I speak truth.  And I encourage them to come back to a path of holiness and love for God’s people.”
