who are we listening to?

Last night was the fourth week of a race, racism, and reconciliation conversation I've been facilitating.  The conversation has been transformative...largely because the group has both Black and White friends, and we've had the opportunity to listen to one another.  

Part of our conversation last night revolved around the non-negotiable of both lament and hope in Christ on the journey of reconciliation.  The other non-negotiable is for dominant culture folks to recognize their desperate need for "the other" and to learn from people different from themselves.  Soong Chan Rah, in this 31 minute video, describes why we must recognize this as a high priority need.
