(ChurchLeaders) Dwight McKissic, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, praised the Las Vegas Raiders Monday for holding head coach Jon Gruden accountable for racist comments he made in the past. McKissic said this is a standard the white evangelical church has yet to meet with regard to John MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, Calif.
“The NFL/Raiders, have shown a stronger aversion to racism than the White evangelical church who allowed John MacArthur to call the Black Church a ‘caricature’ without any consequences,” said McKissic. “I have huge respect for The Raiders decision to dismiss Gruden in real time for racist remarks.”
