Most days at the Center begin with a time of worship. One of the Center’s staff takes us through a time of singing and reflection on a passage of scripture. Today was no different. We sang a few songs, meditated on God’s gift to us, and then prayed.
The remainder of our morning involved teaching. A brother from Brooklyn came to speak about the complicity that Christians at various points in history have had in oppressing an ethnic group.
When the class and a prayer ended, we put packed lunches into our backpacks and traveled to Brooklyn. Nathan marked out maps and sent us in pairs to walk on the sidewalks, praying to God for the people around us. We were encouraged to take opportunities to communicate with people cross-culturally. Several of the groups were able to have meaningful interactions with people they encountered.
After we returned to the Center and had feasted, we received a class about counterfeit Christianities in which Seth, the teacher, encouraged us to spend much time in the Bible and to thereby be able to identify and to productively communicate with adherents of heretical organizations.
We then journaled, informally sang, snacked, and went to bed.
