BECOMING ALL THINGS – Wednesdays in June, 10 AM (no childcare)
How small changes lead to lasting connections across cultures.
In Becoming All Things, Michelle Reyes offers a poignant discussion on the challenges surrounding cross-cultural relationships in America today, including the reasons for cultural difference, stereotyping, appropriation, gentrification, racism, and more.
Seeking to deconstruct these things in our own lives, Reyes focuses on the concept of cultural accommodation in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, and looks at the ways in which we need to adapt who we are in order to become all things to all people. The problems inherent in cross-cultural relationships have to do with us. We have to do better.
With language that’s witty, funny, and accessible, Reyes offers hope for majority and minority alike by showing what’s possible when all of us are willing to try something new.
We recommend you register by May 20, but registration officially closes on May 26. You can pick up your book by Sunday, May 28. We've already placed an order for these books, if you'd like to join us please provide your own book. Amazon has it available for hardcover, Kindle and audible at this link https://a.co/d/bBHZkgy
