Racial Unity Cohort
January 27, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EST
An event every month that begins at 10:00 am on day Last of the month, repeating until November 30, 2020
A cohort of 12 pastors (African American and Anglo) have gathered for over two years to work on racial reconciliation and racial unity. The long period of gathering together allowed them to develop a culture of trust with one another. Participants admit, at first, there was a lot of ignorance and arrogance on all sides, but ultimately the pastors developed a deep love for one another, similar to how Jesus Christ loves the church.
As a result of the discussions, there is a new initiative to encourage the partnership of churches from different backgrounds called Mansion Hope, a joint effort by the pastors to reach the underprivileged community of Strawberry Mansion with the gospel.
There are also plans to convene a similar cohort in the western region, and for new cohorts to be started with the other ethnic groups that make up our big, beautiful and diverse Baptist Resource Network family.
Please Note: These meetings are by invitation only.
