Our team got together for dinner this week to talk about our Justice Journey experience with Reverend Meyer and afterwards, we met with the CommUNITY Council for debriefing. We shared our struggle to go back into our daily routines with new eyes that see more clearly the racial underpinnings to so much of American life. We recognized the journey provided only a tenth of what we have to learn and that we need to find ways to continue our education. We wondered how to communicate with our church what has been revealed to us, so that transformation can begin to happen individually and corporately. We felt a strong desire to keep up our relationships with our Salem Baptist counterparts, and an equally compelling desire to reach out and form relationships with ethnic communities and churches locally. Where do we go from here? The way may not be clear, but our hearts have been softened and our spirits prompted to continue on the journey.
