Reconciliation
Reconcile
verb rec·on·cile \ˈre-kən-ˌsī(-ə)l\
: to cause people or groups to become friendly again after an argument or disagreement
It has been said that Sunday morning is probably the most segregated time in America. Yet one of Jesus Christ’s last prayers while on earth was for reconciliation: that believers—despite race, language, national origin, or any other dividing characteristic—would be one family. Social, cultural, and historical factors and legacies make reconciliation one of the great challenges of the historical and modern church.
Based on biblical teaching, Ms. Foster shares her own compelling witness and uses elements of storytelling, like parables, to help faith-based groups and organizations remove the tension that surrounds discussions of diversity and race, and to move toward reconciliation.
“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”—John 17:22-23
Ms. Foster is also available to consult and teach reconciliation workshops based on one or more of her novels.
