In living out the second Satsang commitment, "helping remove the barriers of prejudice and ignorance which divide persons from each other," we have been reflecting on how we come to terms with our own ignorance that may be creating barriers. How do we come to see our shadow side?

Any interested people are welcome to join the discussion.

The three questions we'll continue to work with (from last time's session on Acts 10)
1. In your own life, who are the "Gentiles"?
2. What changes in attitude or action toward the "Gentiles" are you called to?
3. What would your reaching out to these "Gentiles" look like?

Who are your "gentiles"?

We had a great meeting on Sunday, September 20th.

We decided to continue the discussion that we started taking off from the story in Acts 10 and 11 about Cornelius and Peter and Peter's vision not to "call anything unclean which (God) has named clean" The questions we were invited to ponder and work with between now and our meeting in November are:
1) In your own life, who are the "Gentiles?"

2) What changes in attitude/action toward them are you called to?

3) What might your reaching out to them look like?
Please feel free to modify the questions to fit your situation.This will be the springboard for our conversation at our next meeting on November 8th.
