Where I Stand Raymond Tucker
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Cultural issues tend to be divisive and to take a stance in favor of or against a particular subject is the social equivalent to severing one of your limbs. There has to be a way to address the woes of society without excommunicating friends, family and neighbors in the process.
As Ministers of Reconciliation we believe the impetus of reconciling people to their fellow man is found in the passage of scripture that is part of Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount' in Matthew 5:23-25.
Where I Stand is an attempt to reconcile man to his fellow man by exploring issues in America's culture through the lens of a Christian framework from a black perspective. Will you stand with us?
