Is There Hope for Reconciliation In America's Cities?

I believe the reality of seeing racial reconciliation happen in our countries faces many barriers. One of the greatest barriers in my mind is that the church cannot seem to get it right. If Christ is the ultimate example of reconciliation and has left us on earth as his ambassadors and as a church we still cannot even come close to getting this reconciliation thing right what hope does our country and our cities have? But if the church is the hope of the world and God can do a fresh work of reconciliation in us the world will see us as Christians living what we believe, then there is hope that our cities can become racially reconciled. Without out the reconciliation power of Christ there is no hope, the pull of sin and selfishness is too strong.
