I posted something.
I float between two very different worlds. I went to college in New England - all my college/work friends are almost 100% liberal. If not politically completely liberal than 100% socially liberal. For the most part, they cannot imagine living anywhere outside of New England, the mid-Atlantic, or the elite West Coast cities. I don't think a single one even attends a place of worship regularly.
On the other hand, I grew up and then lived in an extremely conservative environment. My church in NC and now are part of the Southern Baptist Convention. It is very, very conservative socially. I know many, many people who's family members are still openly racist.
So, I posted something very very specific. I want people to know that if they say they're a Christian, they should find a church that reflects God's repeated assertion that He will be worshipped by every "tribe, tongue, and nation" and that there is no division among peoples. They should find a diverse church working toward racial reconciliation.
Our church at home does this type of work. Many churches do not. So it was a challenge to some of my culturally Christian friends...wake up, do something. And to my left leaning friends, do not paint the church as part of the problem here because some racist assholes also claim membership.
