(Dis)Unity in Christ: Racial Division and the Call to Unity

(Dis)Unity in Christ: Racial Division and the Call to Unity

Hi friends,

We had a very meaningful conversation last week about race-based privilege and the call to be a reconciling people in our racially divided society. Thank you to everyone who came and engaged in the dialogue--I feel blessed to have been part of the discussion. I look forward to continuing the conversation this week. At Stone Soup this Sunday, we'll be focusing more on what unity means and what obstacles make unity difficult across lines of racial difference. 

Because of potential inclement weather, we didn't end up going to Lake Sheila last week, so this week we'll try again! We'll be meeting at the Saluda church this Sunday at 5pm and heading down to Lake Sheila, assuming the weather holds up. Bring a bathing suit if you would like to swim. There are some picnic tables but feel free to bring a lawn chair if you have one. Also, please bring something for a picnic potluck to share. 

Hope to see you all there!

Stone Soup love,

Steven

1 Corinthians 1:10 (NRSV)

Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.
