Revelation 7 verse 9 tell us of " ..a great multitude that no one could count, from every tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb". God created us different and he saw it as good. George Floyd's murder bought into focus the stark reality of racism and how it impacts on the daily lives of black people within our church family and the wider communities we serve. To change this narrative we need to have an understanding of God's perspective , that can only lead to a continuing heart journey of challenge and change. In this session we unpack aspects of the black experience as well as consider what steps you as an individual as well as a church can take. Recorded at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2022.
