As a theater company of Christian membership, we believe that every person is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. And racism, therefore, is unacceptable, reprehensible, and contradictory to the heart of God.
Within Actors Co-op leadership and membership, we are discussing active ways to reflect the image of God’s fullness and walk in step with Jesus’ commandment to love the Lord our God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Our conversations within Actors Co-op will address our membership, auditions, casting, and season selection. These conversations will take time, and deserve time as we address the true issues at the heart of racial reconciliation and equality.
We know God is working through this moment. So, we pray for bold courage in the days ahead to stand with Jesus Christ and with the oppressed and marginalized.
Thank you for being gracious with us as we learn and grow together.
