This week, we discuss the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Laguna Woods. A Matter of Faith sends its deepest and most heartfelt prayers to the families, friends, and generations of folk who have experienced these traumatic events.

Question of the Week:
Despite our best intentions, white supremacy culture often creeps into our solutions to justice issues. How have you observed it manifest in addressing major issues we face as a church and a community?

Special Guest:
David Staniunas, Records Archivist, Presbyterian Historical Society

Guest Question:
Remembering the past and reconciling with history is hard, especially for the church.  It’s important that we maintain records, photos, and stories of our church’s past.  However, that also means maintaining evidence of past wrongs as well as successes and good things the church has done.  How do we navigate the balance between remembering, celebrating, and reconciling with our history?
