I had the privilege to speak at the annual Philadelphia area's Armenian Genocide commemoration on Monday night. I spoke about what the genocide has taught us (the importance of making people accountable for crimes against humanity) and what the genocide still has to teach us (we must be a united people, and that unity is found in Christ Jesus - the divisions we perpetuate are secondary). I was pretty bold but didn't say anything heretical or blasphemous. I spoke the truth, so I felt comfortable being bold in what I said.

And the greatest compliment I got, over and over again, was that I said what everybody else thinks but is afraid to say.

That makes me happy for now.
