Question Title

* 1. In the Florida-Bahamas Synod, we have rooted our Racial Justice work in this baptismal verse from Colossians 3 9-11: Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Having read this verse, do you believe it is applicable to our current national conversation concerning systemic racism and justice?
