Bridging the Great Racial Divide with Mark Washington and Michael Coffey

"The biblical passage: what men intend for evil, God uses for good, is exactly what has happened in this situation but, I believe there is a lot more good that can be done. There are a lot of other connections and relationships that need to happen. That will only happen when people who are not used to talking to each other begin to connect to one another."Michael Coffey is the Pastor of First English Lutheran Church, Austin, TX and Author of Renounce, Resist, Rejoice: Being Church in the Age of Trump.
