Thoughts on Charlottesville, VA

     I want to state that the racism, antisemitism and hate expressed by the white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA is evil and has no place in civilized society.  No one who claims to be a true follower of Jesus Christ can have any association with hatred, racism, antisemitism and violence.  

     It is time for all Christian leaders in this country to speak out against hatred and discrimination against others.  We are called by Jesus to love others and to spread the message of Jesus' love to all people.

    I want to express my condolences to the family and friends of  Heather Heyer who was killed in an act of terrorism last night.
