They were RENEW.org’s point leader Bobby Harrington; Anthony Walker of Hwy 231 Church of Christ; Nate Ross of Northside Christian Church (host of the event); Orpheus Heyward of Renaissance Church of Christ; and Matt Reagan of Southeast Christian Church.
In this clip, Heyward and Walker describe how churches can lead with biblical clarity and relational sensitivity in the issue of racial tensions.
