A Simple Reflection on Why God Created Humanity 

When God created human beings to live on the earth, in every nation and place, He did not make anyone inferior.

Why Confronting Racism Matters for Everyone’s Deeper Reflection Sometimes, it’s easier to focus on what’s happening around us than what’s going on inside ourselves.
