Church of the Brethren. We appreciated the leadership of former pastoral couple Roger and Carolyn Schrock, now living in McPherson, Kan. Discussion grew from the book of the same title by Messiah College and Harrisburg (Pa.) First Church of the Brethren member, professor Drew Hart, with the added subtitle, \u201cIgniting Activism for God\u2019s Justice, Love, and Deliverance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Witness Commission of the church planned the event as a successor to an event held a couple years ago to further address the scourge of racism in light of Jesus\u2019 teachings and ministry. Highlighting portions of the book and enabling small group discussion resulted in substantive and challenging dialogue, and we pray for courage as we openly attempt to address racism and prejudice of many kinds, toward many \u201cgroups\u201d of people, in our communities and beyond, with more than reaffirming, \u201cWe\u2019re doing just fine, in the name of Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have several copies of the book and are happy to loan them to anyone or any congregation interested in tackling this difficult topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014\u00a0<em>Sandy Bosserman is a former district executive.
