The Banner That Unites Us. Lesson 7—Racial Unity in the Kingdom of Heaven

By Craig Glass | December 18, 2020 | Blog, Church, Community, Culture, The Journey, Transformation | 0 Comments

We might like to think the American Church is racially united, but it’s not. In fact, as many have noted, Sunday morning is the most segregated time of the week in the U.S. This separation is due at least partly to the fact that Asian, Latino, black, and white Christians often have very different style […]
