First to the authors, thank you! Criticism will come because you actually took a stand. It's sad and weird that something so unbelievably simple and straightforward as Racism is sin wouldn't be met with anything other than Amen. Nevertheless it strikes a nerve in the church. So that I'm clear as a black reformed pastor in CRC: We have work to do in this area! Sit with that. It's uncomfortable and real.
Be present and don't assume too soon that you "get it"
The Lord is our help. I believe He abides in the uncomfortable space.
