You can make a difference!!!

We always seem to find time to complain about the world and the ongoing drama of pain and suffering.

Well you and I and all of God`s children can make a difference in this world!! We need to remember that with God all things are possible even peace on earth and good will to all humanity. We need to stop allowing the negative people and situations of this world dictate how we are to live and respond! Stand up for peace and joy and the love of God. Your perspective and views are important and we all can make a positive difference in this world if we find the courage to try.

The African American church has always been a open and welcoming sacred space

We thank God for the ability to grow in our understanding of this journey toward multicultural community.
Please do not think it is the black churches first effort at understanding between the races. The African American Church a powerful history
regarding the issues of multicultural Christian community and we have been part of the history of the creation and growth of said communities. The first churches were open to all who wanted to serve God. It was the infamous legacy of Racism in America that instigated the divisions we see today.
