Quotes "Christianity is not about power and control but about a deep relationship and connection with God."
"We really wanted to create a community, a space that uplifts what Christ is all about – peace, kindness, and understanding."
"We want people to take the words of Jesus seriously, to strive to live out that mandate, and exhibit love in their actions."
"The roots of Christ's consciousness are peace, kindness, and understanding, really being in Beloved Community."
"Our goal is to focus attention on social justice from a Biblical perspective and encourage people to take action."
"If the person is open to understanding that Jesus calls us to a relationship, not to religion, there's a big difference there."
"Demonstrate that Jesus is all about love, even for those with whom we may not agree."
"Christian nationalism has slipped into idolatry, worshiping politics and racism, replacing Jesus as the center."
"The lack of seeing each other as created in the image of God contributes to the rise of Christian nationalism."
"Kindness is action, and it springs from love; without love, there is no genuine kindness."
