CENTERING WISDOM

1. Reflection: How is your understanding of Jesus in modern America often at odds with who Jesus actually was?

2. Reflection: What would it look like if churches took a stance and a community role in the ways that Jesus did? How could community building be successful this way?

3. Activity:  How can we build a holistic religious community in a post COVID-19 world? What does that look like?
