EMBRACE YOUR PATH
The need for creating a Christian understanding (and practice) of cross-cultural and multi-ethnic relationships in today's environment has reached a critical point. We need the Holy Spirit's wisdom and help to grasp what it means to "love one another as ourselves" and to "speak the truth in love" in a 21st century world which is becoming smaller all the time.
