In response to heightened awareness surrounding issues of racial injustice and disparity, 65 Madison pastors and church leaders have co-signed an open letter to the African American community and local pastors pledging to preach “against the sins of racism.”
“We felt like it was very important for churches to stand, specifically with the African American churches and community, and express sorrow for all that has happened and ask for forgiveness,” said City Church Pastor Tom Flaherty, who developed the letter. “These things keep happening in our country and we want to step up.”
