    Evangelicals, it's time for dialogue work — the ‘Christian’ way

    Evangelicals, it's time for dialogue work — the ‘Christian’ way

    Trippie is an Evangelical Pastor at Restoration Church in Buffalo. Dan is also an adjunct Professor of Ethics at Liberty University and holds a Ph.D. in Ethics from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Recent tragedies in Buffalo have prompted him to organize workshops offering opportunities for dialogue across divides.

    In Buffalo, New York, we know the trauma of social breakdown and tragedy firsthand, but we also know the healing that happens when neighbors come together across their differences. Over the course of this past year, we have suffered an extreme blizzard with devastating loss of life; the ruthless, racially motivated murder of ten of our fellow citizens; and the firebombing of a pregnancy clinic by an extremist pro-choice group called Jane’s Revenge. In the wake of these events, Western New York evangelicals have shed countless tears alongside our neighbors. But through trauma and tears, we have been reawakened to the vision of our leader, Jesus – “Blessed are the peacemakers."
