At our church prayer gathering, Paul encouraged us

At our church prayer gathering, Paul encouraged us to pray, and here is some of what he said: •
I’m not sure when the news of the death of George Floyd first entered your consciousness. Mine was somewhere around Tuesday on social media. George Floyd was a black man killed in Minneapolis, in the US, after a white police officer placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck for almost 9 minutes until he died. If you can, watch the New York Times visual investigation of what happened. I read of the grief of those who identified with what George Floyd had faced.
•
Across America, protests began at the injustice of what had happened. The death of a black man under the knee of a white police officer has become a powerful symbol. It has prompted many to speak out. •
For many black people and other people of colour - in the UK as well as the US - their normal lived experience is one of suspicion. Whether it’s big things like navigating institutions or careers; or everyday things, like when they’re on a train or a bus, or just watching birds in a park. I don’t talk about it very often, but it’s something I know well.
•
Some ways we can pray:
- against injustice. - about the long term roots of injustice
- against ungodly responses to injustice. - that the gospel would be seen as the hope that it is:
- that it brings us all humbly before one king, Jesus;
- that because of that, it breaks down the walls of hostility between tribes and ethnic groups;
- and that because we have peace with God, peace can flow between us and our neighbour, whatever shade of skin they have
