I'd like to share some answers about the work of #EthnicConciliation (EC) in the USA Church per FAQ's I receive.

#1 - Although there are some similarities between the two, #EthnicConciliation is not the same take as the more widely known term "racial reconciliation".

(1)
#2 - #EthnicConciliation addresses both "racial" & "reconciliation". "Racial" = more than one race, which isn't supported in Scripture. "Reconciliation" implies conciliation in America between the ethnicities (or nations) en masse has already taken place, when it never has.

(2)
#3 - Conciliation takes place when animosity, distrust, & hostility are gone. Jesus secured this for God & His people, from both genders, all ethnicities, & social classes. #EthnicConciliation is the positional reality of God's people, the 'new humanity' (Eph 1-3).

You'll always win if you change the rules when you're losing. It then becomes natural to assume God's favor is on you b/c your "winning record" is evidence of His will. For decades Evangelical Conservatives (EC's) have told us "justice" must be Biblical, not social.

1/
Biblical = aligned with God's righteousness not pursuing human rights. We were told don't protest, trust the system, & leave it in God's hands. If we didn't comply, we were called: Communists, Critical Race Theorists, Heretics, Liberals, Social Justice Warriors, et al.

2/
Romans 13 was used as a proof text used for us to comply, if we didn't we were not "Biblical". Yet, when restrictions were placed on in-door Church gatherings many EC's claimed persecution. Protests in the form of gatherings inside churches were held, w/ masks optional.
