Racial Reconciliation
These events are sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, as part of a campus mission week on racial reconciliation:
NOVEMBER 4TH (TUESDAY), NEILS 136, 7:00PM: Brother Warfield from Chicago will be speaking on God and racial wounds. He has a powerful testimony of how racial hurts can hinder someone from engaging with people from other ethnic backgrounds, and how essential it is for us to seek healing in these areas so that we may enjoy this gift of racial diversity in our world. Afterwards will be Q & A time for people to discuss what’s on their minds.
NOVEMBER 6TH (THURSDAY), BRANDT LOUNGE, 6:00PM: “Building Bridges: Dinner and Dialogue with International Students”: The purpose of this event is to invite International students & Non-International students to come together and have dinner and open the door for discussion of people’s cultures and upbringing. We hope people will find common ground and/or learn and appreciate those things that are different from them. There will be printed out questions given to small groups to help people engage in conversation.
NOVEMBER 7TH (FRIDAY) UNION SQUIRE ROOM, 7:00PM: This will be InterVarsity’s last event of the week on Racial Reconciliation. Reverend Gregory Jones will be speaking this evening relaying the importance of the week’s events, and connecting them all together. He will address questions such as: What is the Gospel? What does Racial Reconciliation have to do with the gospel? And what does it mean to follow Jesus? Afterwards there will be time for participants to talk with a member of the InterVarsity leadership team or the speaker about the event and any questions they may have.
