We have come to the end of our course. We have hopefully expanded our awareness of the role racism has played in our country’s history and the ways in which religion has sometimes been complicit and sometimes been a motivating force for change. The time has arrived for us to consider one step we would be willing to take toward achieving the ideal of the beloved community.
