This fall, we’re setting aside two dates to practice one simple, difficult thing: seeing each other. Not debating ideas or fixing each other, but learning how to notice the people right in front of us.
This lab grows out of a story from the Christian scriptures in Acts 6. In that story, a community that loves God, is growing fast, and doing a lot of good realizes that some people are still being overlooked. The widows on the margins are in the room, but not in the circle of care. The community has to stop, listen to a complaint from the edges, and let their life together be rearranged to create true community for all.
