El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

We have climbed onto platforms rather than knelt at your feet.

We have colonized your gospel and bastardized your mission.
