Dave & Gert Slabach pastor Faith Mennonite in southern Virginia. Their church has been setting aside time to grow together as a body in their understanding of the racial tensions in our nation. I sat down with them to hear what they are doing to learn/grow as a body, and how they create a safe environment for people to process what they discover.
Mentioned in the episode it Gert's blog article, "What I Think about White Privilege."
Also discussed is the book, Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation.
