My aim is not to provide a history lesson, though I think that as people who strive to be fully present in the world, we must educate ourselves deeply on this issue. As a Christian pastor, I want to meditate on what Jesus is saying in this moment and pray that this meditation somehow leaves us better off. Let me assure you I do not have the answer, but I do have some suggestions of what we can do instead of falling down a well of helplessness or anger.
