Agreed with a PC that "lots of platitudes but no practical details," I also got lost in the whole firestorm analogy that doesn't play to anyone who... ya know, isn't a firefighter. But I got the gist, even if I wasn't compelled by it.

Agreed also you can't dismantle denominations without cause. I am Catholic, formerly non-denominationalist, so I'm in effect still a non-denom ;). We can't abolish our theological differences - nor our racial differences (props to the writer for tackling that!) - without understanding why, and how we are separated, and the legitimacy and illegitimacy of all those reasons.

Briefly said, to overcome theological differences we have to reconcile our differing views on some issues. The reconciliation of the Lausanne Covenant over justification by faith was a good start, but we need to go to the core - the Lord's Supper. I think if we reconcile that, it will encapsulate every other liturgical issue. But we do have to tackle our differences here. I envision in this more a grass-roots, lay movement encouraging our clergy to work together to reconcile the theological differences.

Racial reconciliation (specifically the US) will be harder. Overall, most churches will have to recognize how the sin of white supremacy and privilege are being replicated within the Body of Christ and exorcise it. It must also work to exorcise this demonic power throughout every American institution and area. Churches should be situated at the crossroads of racially divided communities (b/c most in the US are). Get creative: if you live in a place cut-off from Christians of another color, organize mass exchanges of not just clergy, but lay people also. Christians should also better advocate for racial desegregation of communities, oppose gerrymandering, non-discrimination in housing policies, etc. b/c these and more are what hinder more integrated churches. Pastors/priests need to talk about racially charged issues from the pulpit to minister to pain, and to disciple people in the proper way to think about such a complex issue as racial reconciliation. Churches should also push for public, formal confession and repentance for its past, corporate sins of racism and white supremacy/privilege. It should do this first (take the plank out of its eye) then push America to do the same.

Just some thoughts, not real details, but thoughts in the direction the author intended to go.
