I am too. I’m thinking about your post. I hope to respond in more detail soon…
I also want to let people know what prompted this post. It is all thanks to @Philosurfer.
At his invitation, I was just in Irvine, California, at the Crosswise Institute, talking to a crowd of mainly Lutheran high school students: https://www.cui.edu/en-us/academicprograms/christcollege/crosswise They played this video clip as an intro my talk, and had Micah Bournes there to give a talk to the students that night.
I was there to talk about finding confident faith in science, and why Jesus is not threatened by evolutionary science. This video had me move this image, seconds before I took the stage, to the beginning of my presentation:
But America, as I look at you from afar, I wonder whether your moral and spiritual progress has been commensurate with your scientific progress. It seems to me that your moral progress lags behind your scientific progress. http://www.thekingcenter.org/archive/document/pauls-letter-american-christians-0
I talk about this photo often. It is the protests outside my home this last year, in the wake of the Stockley Verdict, in the segregated city of St. Louis. It could have been a better way, but its not. Why not? How did we get here? What gave rise to the segregation here? (watch the first 15 minutes here: Is There Truth Beyond Science? (Delaware, October 2017))
Another way to ask this question is: how did we get here? What is the origin of this injustice? What is the story of how it arose.
