A Note for White Allies
- As Christians, we are called to be on the side of truth 
- We must humble ourselves 
- We must allow ourselves to learn from and be led by Black and indigenous POC 
- We must listen to understand, educating ourselves on the role the church has played in systemic racism 
- We must fight our urge to defend ourselves or our position and allow ourselves to be transformed 
- We must confess and lament our collective history of racism 
- Pray that we are known for our repentance 
- Christianity calls us to community and not individualism, seeking to engage in agapic, sacrificial love 
- We are called to bear witness to the hero: King Jesus. This ensures that we are never the hero of the story or situation 
- This maturation process requires correction, and we must be open to receiving correction 
- Never underestimate the power of extending your privilege through your finances
