#Activism Podcast & CMEP's Response to Black Lives Matter

CMEP executive director interviewed Presiding Bishop Michael Curry of The Episcopal Church for the #Activism podcast about how Christians should be thinking and responding to the current protests against police violence and racism in response to the death of George Floyd.

And in a letter sent to the CMEP community, Rev. Dr. Cannon wrote about racial injustice and police brutality and their disproportionate effect on the African American community. Although CMEP's primary work is focused on the Middle East, as Christians we aim to live out and elevate Christ’s message of hope for the poor, freedom for the captives, and a call for biblical justice that allows for all of humanity to have access to resources and hope for equality and a prosperous future, and this message knows no bounds.
