Love your neighbor
As Christians we need to make it clear. The KKK, White Supremacy, Neo Nazis and racism, in all its forms, are from the pit of hell. There is no place for racism in Christianity.

• We are from different ethnic backgrounds, but we share the same culture.
• The culture we all share is God’s Kingdom.

• We want a Kingdom culture of “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
