Got Inclusion?

Yesterday evening I had the privilege of taking part in a dialogue forum in Grand Rapids called got inclusion?. Here’s the idea behind the forum:
“Got Inclusion?” is an inspiring two-hour educational opportunity that invites the church to address one of the most controversial questions of our time. Participants will listen to the stories of […]
