Statement from the President and Board of Trustees
Our country and communities have been grappling with the unjustifiable and tragic shooting of an unarmed black man, Ahmaud Arbery. Regrettably, such instances of violence towards our brothers and sisters of color, which can often be met with delayed, if not denied justice, have been a well-chronicled stain upon our national narrative and collective conscience. As a blood-bought, spirit-filled community of Christ followers, our voices must be heard. We will lament and speak out. We cannot accept the public silence of our communities around this issue. Scripture says, 鈥渢here is a time to weep鈥 a time to mourn鈥 (Ecclesiastes 3:4), and we are to 鈥溾ourn with those who mourn鈥 (Romans 12:15).聽聽
