This talk goes along so well with our conversation and book study of Culture Care.  Reading old books helps us build our "personal density" as he describes, which helps us listen to new ideas from voices of the past, thus helping us practice listening to the new ideas of different cultures in our present.

 We have groups that have expressed a desire to join us for The Maker's Space theme this year in their own communities.  This one is a group of mother's and high school freshmen.  Not only will they be bonding new friendships, but we will explore the different cultures of high school and beyond, and how we can be a force for bridging different cultures by pursuing beauty and flourishing instead of the clashing of differences.
