Pastor Zach Wilson

I have been a Presbyterian minister for 25 years.

Protestant churches are much less uniform, obviously, than Roman Catholic churches.

I would wear a collared shirt with a tie most of the time.

Not always a tie, but for the most part, because I like ties.

Never.

No.

I hate to say this, but like, I didn't want to be seen as that.

Because people have their feelings about what religion is.

People project things on you.

I never wore a collar to this.

I'm the co-executive presbyter of the Presbytery of the Twin Cities area here in Minnesota.

So, you know, we had one church who had a Sudanese refugee family, and their 22-year-old son was abducted and spirited off to Texas within hours, and he was legal.

The Presbytery kicked in 10 grand, and we were able to get him back, right?

Amazing.

People cannot marshal those sorts of resources.

And there's a lot of making sure people have money to do deliveries to people's homes because people are kind of shut in.

Why can't people leave their homes?

Because brown people are just being picked up.

And even if you're a native born American, if you have brown skin, it doesn't feel safe.

The school district has started allowing distance learning for kids who don't feel safe.
