NY Times "Won't you Be My Neighbor?"

You absolutely must read Peter Lovenheim's article titled Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Here's an excerpt:

Our political leaders speak of crossing party lines to achieve greater unity. Maybe we should all cross the invisible lines between our homes and achieve greater unity in the places we live. Probably we don’t need to sleep over; all it might take is to make a phone call, send a note, or ring a bell. Why not try it today?

P.S.  Shout out to Whitney Clayton for passing this along.

30th anniversary brings us to the Welcome Table

I hope you have been tuned-in to the 30th anniversary of the priesthood being extended to every worthy male member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In case you have missed it, see the film that was produced for the celebration - click here. Sister Catherine Stokes introduces us to the concept of the Welcome Table.

In the spirit of the Welcome Table, who can you invite into your home who may be different from your background?

How can you and your family, ward quorum or auxiliary expand the Welcome Table?
