What it takes to Reconcile Black and White America: Video Recordings
Reflecting on the ongoing crisis of racism in America, we remembered that two years ago in 2018, at a WFWP chairwomen leadership retreat in Atlanta, Georgia, WFWP USA Senior Vice President Rev. Juanita Pierre-Louis and President Angelika Selle had held a session on this very matter. As we looked at the video footage again, we felt that the content shared then sounds as if it was created for today.
We hope that the thoughts and hearts expressed here will assist us all in overcoming our differences and in the healing of our nation. Both repentance and forgiveness are keys to heal the pain and denial of the past and present, to create the bright future we have been missing - one of the deepest bonds of love, respect, joy, and friendships together.
In the first video, WFWP USA President Angelika Selle shares frankly from years of experience going to the core of reconciliation, which starts with repentance.
In the second video, WFWP USA Senior Vice President Juanita Pierre-Louis embodies the heart of forgiveness as she shares about the racial conflict she experienced growing up in the south. She took action against the racial segregation, integrating schools and working with Dr. Martin Luther King. She continues to stand for bringing all people together to create a unified human family as God originally intended.
