Deepening Hospitality: Uncovering Hidden Assumptions About Race
2/21, 3/6, 3/20, 9 am. Upstairs in the Sitting Room.
With rich conversation and helpful resources, we will explore together the how ideas of race and “otherness,” reinforce the Way of Fear at work within us and between us, and keep us from the depth of hospitality we long for.
And we will focus on the light of God with us, that again and again illumines the truth and sets us free to be with and for each other.
