Statement from the President and Board of Trustees Our country and communities have been grappling with the unjustifiable and tragic shooting of an unarmed black man, Ahmaud Arbery. Regrettably, such instances of violence towards our brothers and sisters of color, which can often be met with delayed, if not denied justice, have been a well-chronicled stain upon our national narrative and collective conscience. As a blood-bought, spirit-filled community of Christ followers, our voices must be heard. We will lament and speak out. We cannot accept the public silence of our communities around this issue. Scripture says, “there is a time to weep… a time to mourn” (Ecclesiastes 3:4), and we are to “…mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15).
