I love this, Bruce. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It’s such a powerful admission that you have learned by engaging with people who are marginalized. We need that more and more! I find it easy to keep repeating the party lines that I hear from people I admire; it’s much harder to find the people I wouldn’t ordinarily have contact with, listen to what they have to say, and allow them to change me. Thanks for sharing this, Bruce.

It is convicting and grace- filled. It is sad that I am compelled in my interactions with others to “be right”. Experiences I have had in the last 6 years have blessed me beyond belief and it has come from drawing near to people who have been marginalized and condemned by people of privilege. It has given me a knowledge of Gods heart. My need to be right is inconsistent with the grace of the gospel.
