Covenant Presbyterian ● Engage in dialog? |
|
|
For some years I have engaged both black and white people, sometimes at the same time, to know how much tension actually exists here in our mid-size city. The general agreement seems to be that the tension is a big city issue, but not one locally. Considering current events and that there are multiple Russian churches here in Cleveland, I wanted to know if they are seeing any tension. Since I walk by one frequently when I go to the grocery store, on Sunday afternoon I simply walked in, see Acts 17:2. It ended up with a delightful dialog and an invitation to engage further with the pastor on Wednesday evening. There is a potential issue in that he speaks Russian and little English. What a joy to be willing to engage. Also, it does appear there is little tension with the Russian community here, and some of the people there were also Ukrainian. |

1Co 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things. |
