April 7, 2021 April, noted as Genocide Awareness Month, marks many dark dates in our global history: 27 years since Rwanda, 46 years since the start of the Cambodian genocide and 78 years since the start of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Millions upon millions of people, made in God’s image, have been killed in the 20th and 21st centuries, yet the evangelical church in the United States has had little to no response to preserve the memory of these individuals. Just as the churches in Germany and Rwanda fell silent, and even complicit, in the face of unspeakable evil, we as the church have followed suit, allowing memories to fade out of ignorance and evil to continue out of fear. The United States evangelical church must step into the depths of unimaginable loss if we are to truly reflect the image of our suffering Messiah.
