Chicago church stands by move to ‘fast’ from ‘whiteness’ during Lent – FOX News

First United Church of Oak Park Pastor John Edgerton’s statement said, in part, "In keeping with the Lenten spiritual discipline of fasting, our intent was to lay aside our usual frames of reference and open ourselves to hearing the Gospel message through the voices of Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Color. Our worship services in Lent have been diverse and beautiful, joyful and Spirit-filled."

Wake up!
