Bill Hybels and Willow Creek in National Spotlight for Work Toward Racial Harmony

Hybels said he expects the matter of race relations to be a lifelong mission for him, though he admits that much of his life passed without recognizing its importance.

Pastor Bill Hybels effort is a great step in the right direction. However, we have to work on reconciliations in the body of Christ first. It is amazing how christians of a different religions can not come together. Either we come together as one in the christian family or we looose the battle in helping the next generation.
