How faith communities navigate racial justice without splitting apart

Our church is having conversations about reparations and social justice and it's revealing deep divisions between members who see this as gospel imperative versus those who think we're getting too political. The pastor is trying to stay neutral but that's feeling impossible and some families are already leaving.
