I once heard of Sunday mornings as the most segregated time in America. It is good that you will be doing something to address this issue. Based upon previous experience, I have to say that you might face an unwillingness or inability of people to acknowledge their own subtle prejudices. I went through a book on race with a Xian group one time, and it seemed to some degree that people were eager to express how impartial and accepting of diversity they were. In reaction I thought that this seemed to undermine the idea that there was a need for heeling and transformation in the body of Christ, and yet there is clearly still race issues that linger in American culture.

We're going to be talking about race. At this moment, I feel like I'm winging it, though I know that I'll figure it out by then. I'll be using several sources over the three weeks. So, I'll wish you good luck, but I'll need it more than you! As it turns out, I’ll ALSO be leading adult ed on February 10. We’re going to be talking about race.

I mean heck, you're not a mormon so why even play the numbers on this point? Anyway, sounds interesting. I'd even consider going to a class you lead like this because your outlook and interpretations are always interesting. Though maybe I'm not qualified enough to attend anyway. I mean it sounds like I'd need a access qualification for the course. Maybe 'applied Christianity' or at least a 'Basic God.' Without this I think maybe I'd soon be left behind by a seasoned Godologist like yourself. Let us know how you get on. Does it not go without saying that you are the “blessed husband of one”?
