Sunday, June 14th, 2015Dr. Walter Brueggemann was our guest preacher today, encouraging us to engage in a ministry of reconciliation that refuses social differentiations based on bias and habit and stereotypes, to refuse to regard others from a human point of view, but instead see people as they are and not as they are said to be.
