This week’s video commentary on the topic of reparations for America’s twin sins of genocide and slavery features a discussion of Dr. Daniel Philpott’s essay, “A Christian Case for Racial Reparations”.
We also feature part of a sermon from Assemblies of God Bishop Ed Peecher. You can find out more about Bishop Peecher at the AG’s website.
