People who still bear the wounds of being on both sides of that equation. We still have many power imbalances in our society, and as long as they remain, we will still need God's grace to bring us together again.Rev. Joseph W.

It's not as challenging as my previous post, so I don't expect as much discussion, but I think it's important to remember that we're all in this together.<br /><br />You're right, the Calvin Center is a beautiful place where it's easy to experience the presence of God.
