Thanks for this, Mike. I didn't have time to read it when you published it, but knew I wanted to. So, so good.

Thank you for grieving in written form. Your words resonate with my deep and abiding sadness after 41 years of pastoring in white evangelical spaces, from the birth of the Moral Majority to the rise and reign of Trump.

Thanks Mike for this gracious nudge, this warm-hearted shove, that welcomes and celebrates proximity to color. I too have been dramatically shaped, corrected, broadened by seasons of life in which God has rubbed my shoulders with people whose experiences of this world are profoundly different than my own. It is going to be a colorful-in-every-way crew surrounding that throne, eh? PTL.
