Bind Us Together

Through Our Testimonies

BIND US TOGETHER

As part of our continued commitment to the kingdom of God and to each other, we have engaged over the last few weeks (recordings provided below) in a conversation about race, racism, and the role all of us plays in creating a world that aligns with God’s vision. Last night, we had a conversation that was challenging, hard, and yet necessary if our IGB community wishes to continue representing the beautiful tapestry of all of God’s creation. Some of us may have felt angry at times; others may have felt sad. Still others have wished we had this conversation long ago, while others may have hoped we’d never have it at all. Yet, we, as the leaders of the Indianapolis Great Banquet, wholeheartedly believe our commitment to the body of Christ and our citizenship in heaven outshines all other commitments we have, and that means there are times when hard conversations are unavoidable if we are to truly be sisters and brothers on this journey.
