Posted in: A Pastoral Statement on Venezuela, Justice, and Truth
Thank you for commenting on this issue. I appreciate your apology for Pastor Christian. That doesn't take away the legitimacy of your comments. The original post is vague and inoffensive, and increases the longing for a more forceful clarifying statement from the leadership of our church. I hope that I am not being offensive when I call to mind the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the confessing church, calling us all to reaffirm the lordship of Christ that transcends our immediate agendas and political loyalties.
