When I was invited to speak at Q Commons, a Christian think tank event held this month on the subject of "Healing a Divided Nation," I was blessed to hear the words of Jason Petty.

Jason knows more on a personal level about functioning in a world of cultural and racial disconnect than most people on earth and the one thing he claims is that through Christ we are truly one.
Here in Indianapolis, one of the 100+ cities where Jason's talk was heard, we at UNITE INDY are working to demonstrate the oneness that Paul wrote about in Colossians. We are not the same, we have different cultures, we are different colors, and we may not even share a language. But through Christ we can be and should be one people.
Yours in Christ,
Jim
