Those are good things, and basically reversals of bad “policy” for lack of a better word. Still good government is not the solution, but a symptom of the solution.
I’ve also become friendly with a few inner city pastors and met some congregations to show that we aren’t so different. We’ve even had small groups come out and spend the day in our tiny rural town to see how we live as a community.
They’ve always been amazed that we don’t have a local police force because they see them every day all day. I explain that we have a low enough crime rate that we couldn’t justify paying for police. We’ll go weeks at a time without a county or state police cruiser rolling through town.
Every one of the pastors I’ve befriended is a former social justice preacher who saw the error of their ways. In virtually every case they looked out at the angry faces of their congregations and realized that the anger was a reflection of their own so they changed direction.
