How do such short strings of letters inspire such heated debate? What is DEI? What is this CRT? How can we reflect on our own experiences while understanding that others have walked similar paths with different results? Let’s learn and talk about it. In this three-week series, we will discuss ideas that can be hard to talk about, but that are essential for our faith, our community, and our world.
