The Prayer for Peace march in Homewood yesterday was incredible! It was a beautiful day in the city, and many people from Homewood and from neighborhoods across the city came out to join the movement of peace and reconciliation in our city. The event keeps getting bigger each year, and relationships are stronger each year. God is bringing people together to work toward the common goal of shalom in our city.
The large amounts of churches in America that are not diverse point to the fact that many Christians are uncomfortable with or unwilling to build reconciling relationships across racial, socioeconomic, urban/suburban, or neighborhood boundaries. I am happy to say that much progress is being made with regards to reconciliation in Pittsburgh. Christian leaders are beginning to lead strong in this area. The Prayer for Peace march yesterday was a wonderful picture of what the Kingdom of God is like. I am excited to be a part of what God is doing in my city.
