Following George Floyd's death, the nation may not be ready for reparations on racism issues but the "church can lead the way in biblical restitution," according to the president and CEO of Christianity Today.
Timothy Dalrymple said "repentance alone is not enough" for white evangelicals to atone for the nation's "original sin" of racism in an op-ed for the magazine.
"The virus of racism infected our church, our Constitution and laws, our attitudes and ideologies. We have never fully defeated it," Dalrymple wrote.

Repentance is not enough
interesting perspective. Wonder what would be “enough”. I’m guessing that is always just out of reach.

Don’t include people you don’t know in youe “we”. You are the one who is infected — of looking for racists under every bush.

The Churches will go broke. The leaders may be agnostic liberals but the parishioners have a faith and won’t long contribute or in the amounts necessary. Yet these Church “leaders” will probably get some funding from other agnostics to create a “model” program of cash transfers.
To: DFG
Next they will be supporting "Autonomous Zones" throughout the country.
Just watch and see.

I'm a proud lapsed Catholic. I know this will offend some, but I have no use for organized religion (though I do believe in God).

The virus of liberal white guilt has infected many churches.

Well, there’s atonement, but I have trouble figuring out how to repent for sins that are not my own. Don’t want to either; got enough stuff God’s gonna want me to explain.

I'll go for reparations when the Catholic Church sells all its property and donates the proceeds to the victims of the church's pedophile priests. Sound fair?
