What should our response be in a world torn apart by prejudice and fear? In a one-day workshop titled “Reconciliation and the Church: Soul Change to Social Change,” SPU Director of Reconciliation Studies Brenda Salter McNeil will lead participants toward an answer to this question.
“It’s a spiritual battle,” she says, “so we must employ spiritual weapons: prayer, repentance, forgiveness.” Reconciliation and the Church will explore a new model of racial reconciliation, social justice, and spiritual healing that creates individual, church, and community transformation through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
