Horrific lethal violence engulfs America. Why is this happening? Can we do anything to stop it?  We cannot answer these questions if we focus only on overt physical forms of violence.  Culture, beliefs and ideologies shape and define acts of violence, including physical attacks and assaults on people’s humanity, personhood, dignity and sense of value.

We are not doomed to be violent by nature or genetics. Rather, incivility and violence are embedded in social, cultural and environmental factors. Can we truly love God, whom we have not seen, and practice incivility and violence against our brothers and sisters?

The theme for this semester’s LACI series is “Christianity and Pop Culture.” For more information, contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.
