The author of the letter to the He-
brews likens the daily life of the Christian
steward to a race, a long-distance race
perhaps, certainly not a sprint; requiring
endurance and a single-minded focus on
Jesus at the finish line.
Good stewards are firmly committed
to running the race, to live the Christian
life to the fullest, to keep their eyes focu-
sed on Jesus. They don’t grow weary.
They don’t lose heart. They know there is
immense joy waiting for them at the finish
line. Are you running the race, or are you
simply jogging? Walking? Sitting? Going
backwards? Going nowhere? Perhaps
this is the time to increase your output.
From the Deacon’s desk...
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch) The Ro-man Catholic church is too timid and too silent about the racial inequalities that make African-Americans suffer, Bishop Edward Braxton of the Belle-ville Dio-cese argued in a speech Monday night that was critical of — but hopeful for — the church. On the eve of the second an-niversary of the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Braxton admonished the church overall for failing to engage African-Americans enough as more black men die from police shootings, such as Alton Ster-ling and Philando Castile. “Sadly, I know many African-American Catholics who do not be-lieve that their black lives matter in the Catholic church as much as white lives matter,” he said. The church is frequently not even
welcoming enough to its own African-American members, of which there are few — and it’s not surprising why there are few, said the bishop, himself black.
“This lack of a history of dialogue un-derscores the difficulties that the church faces today when it attempts to evangelize the African-American community,” Braxton told the audience of about 400
at the Cardinal Rigali Center in Shrewsbury. He said they’re quite happy in their Baptist, Pentecostal, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Islamic houses of wor-ship. “It has been late in the game to change that scenario. Nevertheless, we should not abandon our effort, and part of our effort should be to under-stand the Black Lives Matter move-ment,” he said.
Belleville bishop says Catholic church needs more connection
to black struggles By Editor, Catholic News, August 10, 2016
(Connection, continued) Braxton urged the audience to take action to heal the country’s racial di-vide in whatever capacity they can, to not remain aloof. To quote Mother Theresa, he said, there’s no excuse for doing nothing. “Everyone can do something,” he said. After his speech, several African-Americans stepped up to the micro-phone to thank the bishop for voicing aloud an issue they say they have long struggled with themselves, but that their own churches have almost never discussed. Retired deacon Leslie Johnson Sr. of St. Alphonsus “Rock” Church nar-rated to the audience how, when he showed up at a Catholic center for deaconate training, the people there directed him to the kitchen instead, because they assumed he was “the help.” “I still feel like an outsider in my own Catholic church because of the color of my skin,” said Johnson. He agreed with Braxton that the church remains too silent on the issue of race. “And the silence is killing us,” he said. Debbie Stovall, 66, of Chester-field, said after Monday’s event that Braxton’s call to action — which was to “listen, learn, think, pray and act” — will be challenging for her, but important. She agreed that communities like hers that are relatively secluded from African-American struggles need to listen to their stories of discrimina-tion, but people tend to “go back to their lives” after they hear them. She also agreed with Braxton that the church frequently dodges the issue of race. “Sometimes, the priests don’t want to have controversy. I think that’s kind of wrong,” she said. “We need to be confronted. We need to be uncomfortable.”
