I have been preaching the same things for years and finally to hear someone else speak the things the Lord has layed upon my heart…. I can’t tell you how much seeing this clip has meant to me. I am an African-American woman who has been involved in multi ethnic ministry (with an AA majority) for yrs. I’ve sense God’s call for more from his people. I just had a conversation with a brother regarding starting this type of ministry yesterday. This is just be the confirmation we need. At the least it stirs me to continue forward in this ministry.
Thanks. I know I will be in contact with you in the future. May the Lord richly bless your ministry!!!!!!
Thank you, Chad Brennan, for the clear presentation on the hidden sin of the church for centuries. I am of an Ethiopian descent, living in Britain. The evil of tribalism/racism is widespread, it is an every day experience over here, amongst churches in Britain. I have personally been at the receiving end of ethnic discrimination, stereotyping and hate within churches in Britain. From being disdained like a useless object to systematic and subtle discouragement from church membership, I experience daily the disgusting attitude of racism in churches in Britain. The very existence of two different churches, namely white church and black church is an evidence that churches are not right with God, such division is based on hate, it is a sin, it is an abomination in the eyes of God.
In fact, in modern Britain, the secular society or the non-church-going generation seems to be more friendly, inclusive and welcoming, compared to the church in Britain, which is a subtle and secrete bastion for white supremacy. As a result of churches’ attitude in Britain, I have been trying to build a ministry in order to expose, address and heal the evil of racism in churches in Britain, on the principle of the Cross of Jesus, that unites diverse people from all over the world, on equal grounds, to creat a Biblical unity, a loving and caring family. I wrote a booklet on this problem about three years ago, but couldn’t find a publisher over here because the predominant white church wouldn’t allow such material. I hope that one day, I might find a publisher be able to give out freely to people. And I hope, we should be able to spread the word so people can listen to your video presentation. I will be in touch,
Thank you and God bless you
