Finding Peace In A World Of Racial Conflict
“Why can’t we just get along?” asked Rodney King, a man whose beating trial sparked the Los Angeles riots in 1992. This question reflects more than one troubled heart. It reflects the anguish of all who have borne the burden of hatred and violence. At no time, however, is the question more troublesome than when it raises doubts about spiritual answers. Never is the question more bothersome than when someone asks, “If peace comes through a relationship with God, why hasn’t the church been a more important source of racial and ethnic reconciliation?”
In the following pages, RBC biblical counselor Dan Vander Lugt takes a look not only at a difficult issue but also at some of the solutions that can come with a renewal of faith.
