Thanks, Rudy, for highlighting how CRT is a useful flashpoint for certain political operatives (who benefit from unending culture wars). This is a good reminder to me to be vigilant about such distractions and instead remain focused on Christ's liberating love that has overcome the sin of racism and calls me and others to participate in that overcoming; to understand the very real violence done to my siblings in Christ; and to better learn how I as a white Christian am not only caught up in the cycle of violence but can also renounce it, in community, by the power of the Spirit. I hope you'll keep challenging me/us with your writing.
