Radical Belongings
Details
Desmond Tutu wrote: "We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders." This is a beautiful statement, but how do we live it? How do we engage with the world from a place of radical belonging when there is so much division and suffering? How do we see the divinity in someone who is causing harm?
These are difficult questions - and questions worth wrestling with.
Join Rev. Cynthia Vermillion-Foster February 8th as we find ways to be completely spacious and welcoming, we become co-creators with God in a world filled with harmony and wholeness.
