Thankfully, the Apostle Paul shared principles with Hebrew and Gentile believers to govern their own handling of cultural differences. Join Chris to learn how these truths, when applied, can be extremely transformative to Christian understanding and a church&#8217;s relationship with Confederate icons.\n<strong>Session B &#8211; Wednesday, Nov 9 (1:30p)<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><em>Cheap Diversity or True Solidarity? \u2022 David Swanson<\/em><\/strong><em><br \/>\n<\/em>When confronted by racial injustice in our society, many white pastors scramble to add diversity to their churches.
