This May/June, you are invited to join discussions of Becoming Like Creoles, written by lead author Rev. Dr. Curtiss DeYoung along with several contributing authors. Here is a brief synopsis of the book: “Using biblical exposition in conversation with present day Creole metaphors and cultural research, Becoming Like Creoles seeks to awaken and prepare followers of Jesus to live and minister in a world where injustice is real and cultural diversity is rapidly increasing. This book will equip ministry readers to embrace a Creole process, becoming culturally competent and social justice focused, whether they are emerging from a history of injustice or they are heirs of privilege.”

We will have Tuesday evening discussion groups on Zoom from 5:30-6:30pm on May 10th and 24th (led by Pastor Ryan). Then, on Saturday, June 4 from 9:30-11:00am, we will  gather at Fairmount for a discussion led by the author, Rev. Dr. Curtiss DeYoung. We’ll provide coffee and breakfast snacks. Do you need a copy of the book? There are still copies of the book available at the church (in Andersen Hall). You can also purchase your own paperback or Kindle copy online if you prefer.
