After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. – Revelation 7:9 (NRSVUE)
One of the groups that has organized quite a few events in the past couple of years at St. Matthew is our DEI/Anti-racism team. DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become for some people a political issue. From time to time, then, I have people ask me whether this group is truly doing something based in Christian faith or if it is just following current topics and trends. With that in mind, I pass along this article that places DEI within the context of the gospel message of Christ’s ministry.
