  7. Who are these children of god under the skin? • QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER: • What is their faith? • Are they reasonably happy/sad/other? • Do they have siblings? • Tell them about yourself under the skin! • Did they have a happy childhood? How do you know? • What are they like inside? • Are you the same or different?

  12. If sin is understood as Separated from God, then Psalm 106:6 We've sinned a lot, both we and our parents;  We've fallen short, hurt a lot of people. [The Message] What next?

  13. We can all SHAKE HANDS and HUG and PRAY that our friendship will be an inspiration to others ……… .and we might make a small difference in a big world.

  14. Talk about it! • Another way to say it! • Ubuntu – “I am human, therefore, you are human!” • Namasté – “The God in me greets the God in you.” • Feeling SUPERIOR requires that someone else is INFERIOR. • Good-bye to: Racism as the belief that one race is innately superior to all other races. • Good-bye to: There is no place for people of other faiths in my Godly universe!

  15. SISTERS JOIN HANDS TOGETHER We commit ourselves as individuals and as a community to follow Jesus Christ in Word and Deed and to struggle for the rights and the self-determination of every person and group of persons. And together, the Sisters say, AMEN
