Walk in My Shoes: A Dialogue on Race and the Church

The dialogue on race in the United States is more polarized than ever before. Much of that polarization is a result of a lack of understanding of what is means to “walk in another person’s shoes” and to empathize with the journey of others that look different than ourselves. Join us as we have a candid conversation about how our individual journeys impact the dialogue on race and the church.
