Friends at FBCP,
Today I have an audio message to share with all of you for a couple of reasons. One is to talk a bit about how we are thinking through Black History Month and to share some books that have shaped my own understanding of race, theology, and the contributions of our Black brothers and sisters to our faith tradition. The other purpose in sharing tonight is to offer an apology for failing to give context for the final song in last Sunday’s worship service. I will continue to be honest about the times I fail, and I am grateful for your time given to listening to this message.
We are a diverse church, and I am so thankful that our community is one where we can listen deeply and correct one another when necessary. What a gift to be a congregation of such discernment and trust. I remain…
Less without you,
Pastor John Jay
