QUESTIONS TO BE THINKING ABOUT
- What was/is your culture/heritage like?-Food, hobbies, activities, socio-economic, traditions
- What were the beliefs about race that you were taught growing up (either directly or indirectly) – home, school, etc? AND how have you learned, grown, changed, reconciled through Jesus from that?
- Have you or a close family member ever been profiled/stereotyped? If so, please share an experience and how it felt for you/them.
- What commitment could you make to grow in your exposure to other cultures this year?
