ForgettingWalls
Keith Wilson
We recognize that there are growing separations and conflicts between the "church" and the secular world. We exist to be a bridge between both groups. No matter where you come from, we are here to mend relationships between people on both sides of the church's walls. But we can't do it alone. So, whether you are a Christian, Atheist, Buddhist, Black, White, Poor, Rich, or whatever label you live under, we realize that we all have doubts and questions. We want to meet somewhere on the fence to start erasing the walls that segregate, the traditions that enslave, and the stereotypes that kill.
