In order to make progress on race, we have to truly look into it, discuss it and discern how our faith leads us to speak about it with truth and respond to it with faithful action rooted in our beliefs. If we “face” race while following Jesus, we will truly be witnesses of the good news to a world made cynical by bad news.
