This article was shared with me and I thought you will find it interesting. This is a great article regarding the Church's focus on worship disconnected from discipleship making. We have been called to make disciples and worship is an aspect of discipleship but Christian life cannot be reduced to worship separate from living in the world. The author pay special attention to the UMC's experience. Powerful challenge to the present state of the Church in America. Enjoy the reading.

Racism and the Latinx Community - Webinar #9

On August 3, 2019, a shooter killed 23 people in El Paso, Texas. His motivation was to fuel an anti-immigrant hatred in the United States. Before his attack he posted an anti-Hispanic, anti-immigrant manifesto that promoted a white supremacist thought on the internet and during the attack he admitted that he targeted "Mexicans". This is one example of the tragic cost of racism for the Latinx communities in this country. This month’s “Raise Up Your Voice Against Racism” webinar will examine the numerous hardships and challenges for the Latinx communities when it comes to racism.
