Leaders of the Lenses Institute, part of Cru, shut down their ministry of racial reconciliation and understanding due to backlash over CRT and related issues.
People who habitually beat the drum of racism, will always see it around every corner. All societies have and have had dark areas in their history that they're not proud of. But, if we continue to relive them through honest but misguided attempts to quell, heal, correct, or overemphasize them, then we will continue to relive any and all the past sins of our forefathers. LETS MOVE ON! Christ loved he didn't dwell on past sins, just the for givens. All these entities, CRT,social injustice, inequality, racial equity, systemic racism, diversity, affirmative action etc., may on their face seem ordinary harmless solutions to problems, especially to the secular community. However, they are extremely polarizing terms and ideas for the un-wok. Christ didn't go about explaining how their sins were sins. He went about loving and telling them to "sin no more", end of sentence! We are all people of color. I've never seen an opaque person. We need to love Christ, love ourselves and love others. All these other "programs" and remedies will be totally unnecessary. To love is not to ignore that problems, (sin) exist but it is time to let this nation and world heal, get on with life and pray, pray, pray. Let's try it God's way.
