Racial Reconciliation Discussion Resources

Dear Fellow Pastors,

Greetings. During these days of racial and social unrest, I believe we pastors must be even more willing to have open dialogue with our congregations.

As you lead, I want to share some resources that may help toward this goal, as we discuss these important issues. Let me encourage you to take time to preview the information below. Then please share that information with your group or congregation, as you see fit.

Brothers, we are a multi-racial convention of “sinners all saved by grace,” and it’s extremely important we learn to see all men as Christ sees them. The Word of God states, “How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

If I can help you in any way, I stand ready to do so. Please contact me anytime.

God Bless You,

Dr. Walter A. Wilson
