That knowledge should help all of us to be more accepting of others, no matter what their race, creed, religion or cultural orientation. As we prepare to celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus who was crucified for his religious beliefs, it seems appropriate to erase our differences and accept each other as we are.
Racial prejudice influences too many lives negatively each day.
Riots in Cincinnati have blacks pitted against white police officers over the shooting death on an unarmed black citizen. Students up the road in Lawrence had epithets painted on their door because of their sexual orientation. We believe we are all really more alike than we are different. For Christians, Easter celebrates the return to life of Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity, after his crucifixion. Many celebrate with sunrise services or other elaborate outdoor services.
