Liberation is at the heart of Christianity. Jesus began his ministry by proclaiming freedom to the captives. On a day like today, we must always remember that this is the good news—that freedom is for those who have been captive, not just metaphorically, but physically. Juneteenth remembers the reality that those enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, who had already been made free on paper were not actually made free in practice. And so we celebrate the day the news came to them and their liberation became reality. So let Juneteenth be a beacon to us who follow Christ, that although he proclaimed freedom to the captives over 2,000 years ago, our celebration will not happen in fullness until the powers of this world that still oppress and dehumanize Black Americans are fully dismantled and all who are oppressed are liberated.
Tonight marks the return of our monthly casual discussion group here at NHUnited, called "Faith on Tap!" This month's topic is the Bible...how do we use it and what in the world does it mean?  We'll chat about it with snacks and drinks in a local backyard (Ross family) from 6:30-8:00pm.  DM for address and see you there!
