His sons&#8217; athleticism and size have always been seen as assets, while in Trayvon&#8217;s and Tamir&#8217;s cases, these qualities made them seem threatening, Wallis pointed out. He did not have to fear that his boys could be shot by those who are supposed to protect public safety, and that is white privilege, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He challenged the Christian leaders in the room to preach about race, cross each others&#8217; thresholds and worship together. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Participants asked Wallis about the relationship between the church and the Black Lives Matter movement, noting that young activists increasingly are not a part of the church. Wallis proposed that by challenging &#8220;white Christianity,&#8221; churches might lose some people, but they also might win back this younger generation.
