ES 134 | Extra Shot | Matt Frizzell: Open Letter to Community of Christ, USA


Listen Later

Many look to their faith for direction and answers to things happening in the world while others suggest that the church should stick to theology and spirituality. The reality is that churches are speaking up about justice issues facing the world and especially in the United States, but where is Community of Christ’ voice in all of this? There are people who wonder why Community of Christ seems silent in the midst of injustices being experienced by so many.  In this Extra Shot episode, which is a cross-post from a personal posting of Matt Frizzell, Matt makes it clear that the church has spoken.  As a matter of fact, we the church, have been speaking for decades through legislation and conference action. The only thing left to wonder is when we will use the words, witness, and vision of our prophetic voice to stand against the injustices whose existence we have long acknowledged as a people.
