February in the US is Black History month. We celebrate the amazing achievements and accomplishments of African Americans as well as remember the dark reality of slavery and the valiant fight for civil rights and equality that continues today. As a nation we have a long history of racial divide. Ours is a nation of many divisions: racial, cultural, political, economic, religious, the list could go on. Our divisions even have divisions; it seems we are more divided today than we have ever been. The church, as a part of this culture, is no exception.
