Jesus commands that disciples be made of all nations. “There is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!” (Colossians 3:11)  God’s Kingdom includes “every nation and tribe and language and people.” (Revelation 14:6)  Racism, therefore, is a barrier to Biblical evangelism, obedient discipleship and abundant living. Christ died to reconcile all people to Himself. Our emphasis on racial reconciliation is deeply rooted in the inclusivity of the Kingdom of God. The Diocese of Texas is One Church reconciled by Jesus Christ building the Kingdom of God together.
