What makes a church multiracial? Are the music, the reading, and the prayer interpreted bilingually? A choir led by a different ethnic group? Multiethnic food or flags from other countries?

The same God who talked to Abram also speaks to each of us who make up the church. Perhaps what is missing is for us to fall to the ground in complete surrender the same way that Abram did.

The surgeon had to remove the synthetic oil belt that had been holding my retina in place for the last four months. After removing the oil, he replaced it with a gas bubble that will dissipate on its own over two weeks.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately. There’s so much that I don’t know. When I have to facilitate a workshop, or lead a study group, or meet with someone to talk about specific issues of discrimination, more and more I notice how much learning I have yet to do.
