Spiritual Preparation

Consider interactions, relationships, and friendships you have had with people of a different race or ethnicity from your own. What did you learn from others? What broader perspectives did you gain? Were there things that you wish you had known or that you wish you had done/said differently? If there is/was a connection between you and another across racial/ethnic boundaries, what approaches or attitudes on both of your parts made the connection possible?

Write your responses in your journal or share them with your co-facilitator or a trusted conversation partner.
