The book of Revelation shows the incredible diversity and unity of God’s people worshiping him together. This end-time picture stirs my heart to know my brothers and sisters in Christ who are from other cultures and races and with whom I will one day share in the eternal bliss of the marriage supper of the Lamb.

How does the Genesis account of humanity speak into today’s most controversial issues?

The arc of redemption may be long, but by the rich mercy of Jesus Christ, it is sure.

Church of the Good Shepherd, Charlottesville, VA is grateful to be a partnering church with Theological Horizons in bringing Bryan Stevenson to Charlottesville.

“Although I couldn’t understand everything she said, I never doubted her love for me and my sister. Her broken English and my poor Spanish was no barrier for her love.”

The world doesn’t yet look like it’s under the rule and authority of Jesus. But as Hebrews 2:8-9 says, though we do not yet see everything in subjection to him, we do see Jesus.

His story calls us to love our enemies, too. To forgive those who hurt us, even those who hurt us deeply, just as God in Christ forgives us. To release our bitterness and anger, so that the love of Jesus might flow through us to others, and so that in forgiving, you and I might truly know the peace of God that passes all understanding.

Are you willing to serve as an ambassador for racial reconciliation in our society? To help equip you for this ministry, Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, Fairfax, VA, would like to invite you to attend an online Racial Reconciliation Seminar, October 30, from 9 a.m. to noon.

The Falls Church Anglican is beginning its summer forum series again on June 20 at 7 p.m.. The first in the 2021 summer series is with Isaac Adams pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church and the founding host of United? We Pray—a podcast devoted to prayer about racial divisions in churches.

On Saturday, June 19, from 10-11 a.m., Coracle invites you for a special online Juneteenth Service, the fifth broadcast from the Corhaven Graveyard (an historic burial ground for enslaved African Americans in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley).

America, a religious nation, has had throughout our history a type of intellectual leader that has been termed the public theologian. Henry Ward Beecher, the Niebuhrs, Billy Graham, and Fr. Richard Neuhaus are among the most prominent examples. Now, Wheaton professor Esau McCauley is using his broad pulpit to call American Christians back to their religious ideals, the lived experiences of the Black church, and a full recognition of the Black church in our history.

In light of the tensions in our society regarding race relations, in his address to the Provincial Council, Archbishop Beach called for a Working Group on Race, Racism, and Racial Reconciliation. This group is comprised of leaders from across the Anglican Church in North America representing a diverse range of races, ethnicities, ages, orders, and both genders.

“Restorative justice (RJ) is a way of thinking about crime that puts more emphasis on repairing the harm done by the offender to the victim and community than on punishing the offender.”

How lovely that we can still be tuneful, that we can still pay attention to words and rhythms and joyful cadences… and although we may not sing robustly together for a while, what fun to learn to hum our praises.

More than Charlottesville, more than Richmond, perhaps more than any other place in Virginia, Emporia would appear on the surface to be a place ripe for violent protests.
