Churches and Christian leaders are often overwhelmed because they feel ill-equipped to engage effectively in the ministry of reconciliation in a diverse and divided society. This session explored insights and practices that are helping congregations and leaders move forward in hope. Growth in this area can be stubbornly difficult but also profoundly sanctifying and fruitful. The session explored what your first baby step in this direction might look like, as well as what it looks like for a church to be committed to racial reconciliation for the long haul.
