(ChurchLeaders) Sunday’s roundtable discussion at Atlanta’s Passion City Church was supposed to address racial healing. Instead, it made headlines when the megachurch’s founder, Pastor Louie Giglio, made remarks that sparked backlash and an apology.
During the June 14 online service titled “The Beloved Community,” Giglio talked with Lecrae Moore, a Christian rapper known as Lecrae, and Dan Cathy, CEO of Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A. While describing how the phrase “white privilege” is “like a fuse” for many white people, Giglio suggested “white blessing” might be a better replacement.
