Jermaine Ross-Allam, Director of the Center for Repair of Historic Harms and Dr. Corey Schlosser-Hall, Deputy Executive for Vision and Innovation from the Presbyterian Mission Agency (PMA) to sanctify our stunted imaginations toward a future God might be pulling us. A future where systemic poverty and structural racism are history. Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis will be our special guest for this part educational, part conversational engagement!
