Strong start…especially re: truly defining the origins of your fundamental understanding and, therefore, experience/practice of reconciliation. Because you include Keller’s definition, I wonder about two other definitions. First, how would those white, male, Christians whom you initially learned from define reconciliation? Second, how would those more diverse voices that you’re listening to now define it? Third, how would the latter’s definition compare/contrast from Keller?

Thanks for including us among those, I’m looking forward to more conversation.

I had a similar experience in reading “White Awake” and being confronted with the lack of diversity in who I was reading, following, and listening to when I did that inventory. I’m so grateful for the ways that my faith continues to expand and deepen as I learn from a more diverse set of teachers.
