As Mary Jo Shaffer explains, this small group is designed for a multi-ethnic group of participants so that group members can learn from one another’s varied experiences. Do you want to learn how to have a conversation about race but are afraid of saying the wrong thing?
2 Corinthians tells us that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation. Our curriculum, The Third Option Similarity Training, takes a deep dive into how we can heal the racial divide by honoring the image of God in every person. Today, we are in an “us vs them” culture that dishonors one another. The Third Option is about honoring what we have in common.
In a small group setting, you will be able to discover the common misconceptions that keep people from engaging with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. You’ll identify blind spots you may have and, through a journey of self-discovery, begin living out your similarities with others.
Our next round of groups begins in January 2022. Please sign up to be notified of the details of the groups when they are available.
