Most Christians would say they believe all people are made in the image of God and are equal before him. They would say red, brown, yellow, black, and white, they are precious in his sight. But do they have any friends of another race? Is there anyone at their church who does not look like them? Does this matter to God? The majority of American Christians do not have significant relationships with anyone who does not look like them, which makes them susceptible to cultural blind spots and less effective as ambassadors for biblical justice. The thirty church leaders who contributed to Heal Us, Emmanuel desire racial reconciliation, representation, and supernatural unity in all the churches of Christ.

In 1909, The Rev. George B. Gilbert became Priest-In-Charge of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, in Killingworth, Connecticut. Gilbert was a graduate of Trinity College and of Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown. His informal style and populist political views sometimes drew the disapproval of the church hierarchy and some of his church members, but his desire to serve the people drew wide admiration. The Christian Herald sponsored a nation-wide contest to select a typical country pastor, and Gilbert was selected in 1939 from 1,000 nominees. He revitalized the church and made it known to the world with his famous book, Forty Years a Country Preacher. - Killingworth Historical Society.
