Rapid reaction to yesterday's breaking news

We are entering a time of great upheaval.

I didn’t think it was going to happen, but it happened. And I hope and pray the people who made this fateful decision have thought through the consequences of their actions.

Already, social media is in an uproar, with talk of boycotts and strikes and protests. There is a fiercely devoted, some might say fanatical, cult of followers and supporters out there who’ve made this the centerpiece of their very identity.

God willing, people will exercise their right to protest and express their anger peacefully. But I fear this will further increase the divisions, unease and general sense of anger that’s out there.
