Racial Reconciliation

Reconciliation is a life-long pursuit and part of the Harrisburg BIC Church vision.   In December of 2006, the Harrisburg Brethren in Christ established a Racial Reconciliation Resource Center that gives the community access to valuable resources.   The Racial Reconciliation Resource Center provides educational resources to people of all ages, walks of life and races through various forms of media.   Be sure to visit the Racial Reconciliation Resource Center in our church foyer!

"Love is creative and redemptive.  Love builds up and unites; hate tears down and destroys.   The aftermath of the 'fight with fire' method which you suggest is bitternes and choas, the aftermath of the love method is reconciliation and creation of the beloved community.   Physical force can repress, restrain, coerce, destroy, but it cannot create and organize anything permanent; only love can do that.   Yes, love - which means understanding, creative, redemptive, goodwill, even for one's enemies - is the solution to the race problem.

-- Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957
