"A racially divided church is blasphemy to begin with, and since that has been the pattern in this country I welcome the opportunity to be a part of any counter-
movement that will do away with that idea."

Dr. C. Eric Lincoln

Racial reconciliation is given lots of "lip-service" in our society, but few tangible models exist for starting, growing, and sustaining multicultural ministries. All across our nation, Sunday morning continues to be the most segregated time of the week. Until we learn to worship together, we will never achieve true healing and unity.

We believe reconciliation is more than a nice idea, a plausible theory, a set of principles, or even a church name. It is a shared journey – a shared purpose – and a shared vision. The journey is fraught with obstacles and challenges, but it is also a journey that brings deep joy, exhilarating newness, and profound hope.

"Christ has broken down the dividing wall of hostility between us." Ephesians 2: 14

That exciting good news of our faith has been consistently squandered and muted for too long. Christians must go out of their way to say "welcome" – to all people. We are seeking to join hands with friends, neighbors, and strangers to witness to a different way of living, to walk to a different drummer, and to participate in a different reality. As travelers on the road, we invite you to come and walk with us.

"In Christ, God was reconciling the world to God and has given us the ministry of reconciliation."
2 Corinthians 5: 18-19
