McCormick Road Baptist Church - Promoting Unity, Love, and Inclusivity
As a prominent community and society organization focused on faith and beliefs, McCormick Road Baptist Church stands firm in its commitment to promoting unity, love, and inclusivity. It is with great concern that we address the recent sentiments expressed by white supremacist, Richard Spencer, and shed light on our stance against any form of discrimination, hatred, and bigotry.
Understanding the Threat of White Supremacy
White supremacy is an ideology that fosters division and advocates for the superiority of one race over others. Such beliefs go against the fundamental teachings of love, acceptance, and equality that our church holds dear. At McCormick Road Baptist Church, we firmly reject and condemn any form of white supremacy or supremacist groups that aim to undermine the values that bind us together as a diverse community.
Our Commitment to Upholding Christian Values
Christianity teaches us to love one another, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background. The teachings of Jesus Christ guide us toward compassion, empathy, and understanding. At McCormick Road Baptist Church, these values are at the heart of our faith and influence all aspects of our engagement with the wider community.
