I have been working as a peacemaker and bridge-builder in racially mixed communities for the last fifteen years of my life. It’s a hard, joyous, beautiful, and messy business.

The one place I have found solid ground on, is in the maxim that, “People aren’t color coded.” This means that the most direct path to right relationships is to humanize every person we meet and treat them like the unique child of God that they are. I think the world will be a better place as we all lean into this truth and practice.

Here are some of my past writings about race relations if you are interested:

• Race is a Meaningless Distinction
• Kristen, Tonya, & Prejudice
• Fredrick Douglass & Identity Politics
• Our Inadequate View of Slavery
• Cops, Black Kids, & The Way of Jesus
• Race, Crime, & Economics
• The Good Xenophobe
• The Only Diversity That Matters
