A Call for Fairness in Judging Christians
An appeal from a pastor
Here on Medium, there are a lot of people who hate Christians and anything that Christians have anything to do with.
There are others who may not quite be in the “hate” category but they could be described as angry, resentful, or cynical with respect to Christians.
Allow me please a few moments of your time to offer this…
If you have been intentionally hated, exploited, abused, traumatized, maligned, mistreated, or otherwise hurt by someone who claims (or who claimed) to be a Christian…
Then, for what it’s worth (and it may not be worth much)…
On behalf of the Christian community with which I identify…
I am sorry.
I wish all those who claim to follow Jesus acted more like Jesus. And I have said so publicly…
I will continue to say so, even as I acknowledge that I myself am far from perfect. I have my own struggles and shortcomings.
