What do you do when someone makes a statement in a conversation that you disagree with? What if it is racist or totally against what you believe? We want to be polite and kind, so we end up staying silent. But our silence can be interpreted as agreement. How do we learn to say, "I beg to differ"?
We live in a time when, as Christians, we need to say, "I beg to differ" to many things happening in our world. We need to say No to the racisim, the sexism, the exclusion, the terrorism. We need to say No to those who blame particular faith groups or those who target those of particular cultural backgrounds. The inclusion and compassion that Jesus lived is our mission to live in our world today.
