Advent & building multi-ethnic community
At The Well This Week
We have a new podcast episode with with Bette Dickinson, artist and author of Making Room in Advent: 25 Devotions for a Season of Wonder on observing Advent when schedules are full, the spiritual power of art, and the joy of embracing our human limits.
“It’s okay to acknowledge that I have human limits and I can’t do it all.”
Jasmine Obeyesekere Fernando shares wisdom on building multi-ethnic community.
“Following Christ includes demonstrating God’s future in our relationships. This includes desiring multi-ethnicity and taking thoughtful steps to honor people from all cultures in the way we practice Christian community on our campuses and in our churches, and how we relate to people who are ethnically different from us — whether a lab mate, co-author, or students.”
