If your congregation celebrated Black History together last month, please share your story and photos with us. Email elizabeth.mullins@gci.org
Black History Month is observed in February in the U.S. The observance matters to Christians because it provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the significant contributions of African Americans to the faith. It is also an opportunity to lament and repent of the Church’s history with racism and injustice. By the observance, we demonstrate solidarity with the Black community, acknowledging their experiences and struggles within the context of Christian teachings. We do this while highlighting the unifying power of God in the face of racial divisions.
