I would like to invite YOU to be a member of a new movement of believers committed to what we can accomplish Together.

As you journey with me you will be introduced to many concepts about culture and race and to many people who have also trod this path towards freedom. Freedom is what this  is about. It is more about my belief that God has created a space within each one of his beautiful children to love him deeply and to love each other more. 

My 4th year of graduate studies required a  rather lengthy thesis which i entitled--
                                  ...and the Walls Come Tumblin Down!

And that will happen as we intentionally build RELATIONSHIPS
one-friend-at-a-time across culture and RACE.  

Yes I beleive that barriers of predjudice and racial indifference can be over come as two people risk vulnerability and learn to respect and trust each other as the unique and magnificent beings that they are. Perhaps this slow process won't make profound changes in institutionalized racism but one heart changed might make the difference for another's employment or their housing or their finances. And this kind of freedom glorifies God!    
           ---anyway, got a little off track there.
I was telling you about this thesis that I wrote in my last year at Calvin Theological Seminary...  the last chapter was to be a workshop. Something that could be implemented into action. Well, the workshop began as "The Race Circle". I pray that I can introduce to you some of its participants.
Out of that circle of friends birthed Hearts In Harmony Reciprocal Partners.

Ok I will stop here just in case one of you are 
just dieing to introduce yourself... So now you know at least one school that I have attended and the work that makes my heart sing.  How about you?
