· On a Sunday morning last month, Wil McCall, president of Dallas Leadership Foundation, and Bryan Dunagan, senior pastor at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, met before an audience to discuss faith and race. Their conversation occurred during the aftermath of the fatal shootings of police officers in Dallas and civilians in Baton Rouge, La. and Falcon Heights, Minn. The day of the event at Highland Park Presbyterian, fatal police-related shootings were reported in Baton Rouge.
Watch as these two men -- African American and Caucasian -- offer their perspectives in this video. Their conversation provides a glimpse of what it looks like when believers model the phenomenal love and grace of Jesus, and pursue authentic relationships with all people, regardless of race and class.
The more natural, and the more organic and sincere those relationships are, the more effectively the church can ignite transformation in Dallas' communities and elsewhere.
