Time to Be Silent and Let Somebody Else Speak: Shai Linne on George Floyd

There is very little I can say at this point that will contribute anything to the discussion prompted by the murder of George Floyd.  I think there are plenty of voices coming forward whose life experience has been so very different from mine when it comes to experiencing injustice because of their race.  I do not have anything to contribute to the discussion except that I will do whatever I can to stand against injustice and support the kind of change we need to make things better.

Shai Linne is a recording artist who has released numerous acclaimed Christian hip-hop albums, including his recent release for children, Jesus Kids. He is the author of God Made Me and You: Celebrating God’s Design for Ethnic Diversity and coauthor of It Was Good: Making Music to the Glory of God. After completing a pastoral internship at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., Linne cofounded Risen Christ Fellowship, an inner-city church in his hometown of Philadelphia. Linne, his wife, and three children live in Philadelphia. Learn more at www.shailinnemusic.com and follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
