Statement on Racism and Healing By Clergy of Statesville and Iredell County – June 6, 2020
We, the clergy of different races and faiths, join this day to say that black lives matter to us and we commit to work together with new vigor to address the issues and realities of systemic racism and racial inequity which have been a plague throughout our history as a nation and community. There is no child of color in our community unaffected by these realities.
The tragic slaying of Breonna Taylor, the shocking death of Ahmaud Arberry while jogging and the most recent death of George Floyd, who died with a policeman’s knee on his neck while pleading for his life, have created a moment in time where we must begin to work across racial, religious and political lines to help alleviate the ways racism harms the people of our community. Every arena of our life together is touched by the harm racism brings. Our Scriptures tell us that justice and compassion are the ways to true peace and the true healing of our land and our community. This is what God is calling us toward, and we invite all citizens and leaders of our community to join us as we work for social change in all areas of our lives that can make our community a better place for all our children to live.
