Bishop Jonathon Holston
As you know, Thursday afternoon a significant step was made in our state. Our elected leaders have heard the collective cry of their constituencies and acted to remove the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State House grounds. Removal of any symbol that people revere presents unique challenges. Such symbols are not easily released. Let us use this moment as a touchstone for thoughtful and respectful conversation.
It is imperative that love be vigilant and truth be bold. With this understanding we recognize that a new day is dawning. So, friends, let us think big. Pray bigger.
Let us become disciples God can use as we faithfully seek a more excellent way.
Grace and Peace,
L. Jonathan Holston
