Two years ago this destroyed a major megachurch in Northern California (I won’t give the name). A woman associate pastor made the mistake of saying “all lives matter” in her sermon. She was immediately attacked by the Woked crowd in the church and the community. She had to make a public apology from the pulpit soon after that. Soon after that, the senior pastor then resigned and left the church, I am guessing in part over this incident.
The church still doesn’t have a senior pastor, they have been unable to find anyone to take the job. The church is also now deeply in debt.
We have relatives and friends from the east coast to the west coast and in between.
That simple statement, “All Lives Matter!” becomes a clarifier with where your ministers/whatevers stand.
If they don’t answer, mutter and try to change the subject. you know where they are coming from and trying to dodge that reality.
