We have a special post on the blog this afternoon from David Bailey. Let #Ferguson Prepare Us For This Season of Advent: -- Love expressed in Christian community is the coming of the Lord in the “already but not yet” Kingdom of God. The world will know that we are Christ’s disciples if we love one another. But the unfortunate reality is that racial and socioeconomic segregation exists in the majority of churches in America. Where is our moral authority as a church to criticize the outworking of the racially and economically segregated town of Ferguson, MO? Again, we should never condone violence or looting no matter who is doing it. But with that established, we still need to understand that people are mourning with despair because they don’t have anywhere to go. And a segregated church offers few answers and little hope. Would the reaction in Ferguson be the same if the church in America was a multi-ethnic, socioeconomically diverse community known for its love for one another?
