I've been reading "the Road to Unfreedom" (by Timothy Snyder). He points out that autocratic/fascist movements are always at war with history because there can be no stain on the innocence of their country.
Thank you for this. It is important for us to be clear-eyed about our history as well as to violence that our church continues to reign on the “others” today. There are other encouraging examples of church related institutions that are addressing the sins of their past, particularly with respect to racism. Many of these organizations are colleges and universities with Princeton and Georgetown being two examples. This month Chatham County North Carolina erected a monument to acknowledge the lynchings of Blacks in its history and conducted public discussions.
