- Summary
- The purpose of Required: God's Call to Justice, Mercy, and Humility to Overcome Racial Division is to foster unity in the church across the racial spectrum to bring healing to communities and cities. This unity will be evidenced as apply the commands of Micah 6:8 toward justice, mercy, and humility. Practically the book speaks to how we exercise awareness, ownership, and agency in fostering intentional efforts to address the very racial divide in the church and society. We recognize that a divided church in a divided society cannot fulfill God's purposes. We offer this book as a conversation and a roadmap toward engaging God's church globally in the important work of unity and reconciliation rooted in justice, mercy, and humility.
