(Faithit) Once again, Chick-fil-A is the subject of controversy after CEO Dan Cathy encouraged people to shine the shoes of black strangers as a means of crossing racial barriers.
The suggestion seemed to be likened to the Biblical roots of washing of people’s feet—a trend that made waves in churches last week, particularly after an old episode of Mister Rodgers washing a black man’s feet resurfaced.
Cathy’s comments were made during a roundtable discussion with Lecrae Moore and Pastor Louie Giglio at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia on June 14. Putting action to his words, Cathy got up during the discussion and shined the shoes of Lecrae, a well-known black Christian rapper.
