How Do We Work Together Towards Racial Equality? An Important Conversation with Six Leaders

Below is a list of the resources our panel members will suggest for further reading.

Three weeks after the death of George Floyd, our nation continues to see widespread protests. This is a time for pastors to listen and lead. Recently, we convened a conversation with six respected church leaders to help us understand these issues. The panel included: James Meeks, Senior Pastor, Salem Baptist Church, Chicago, IL; Brian Brodersen, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel, Santa Ana, CA; Johnson Bowie, Lead Pastor, Victory Church, Norcross, GA; Charlie Dates, Senior Pastor, Progressive Baptist Church, Chicago, IL; Laurel Bunker, Associate Vice President, Christian Formation and Church Relations, Bethel University, St. Paul, MN; and John K. Jenkins Sr., Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Landover, MD.

Today, we are broadcasting this conversation on my Facebook page at 12PM CST. I hope you will join me as I am joined by Laurel Bunker as we talk through your questions. I encourage you to engage the Facebook conversation, then discuss it together with your staff. Below is a list of the resources our panel members will suggest for further reading. Join me at 12PM CST over on my Facebook page.
