Inclusive Community

I just spent the weekend with Northaven United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas. It was a mind-blowing 48 hour trip. It is an inclusive community that I found encouraging. Such communities actually do exist. It was an overpowering and transformative weekend for me. I can’t wait to tell you all about it. I hope to be able to do that tomorrow.

This cartoon, when I showed it to the community, got such a reaction, with laughter and applause, that I almost fell over and actually became embarrassed. I’m just not used to that kind of response to my cartoons and ideas in a church context.

Here’s the pastor, Rev. Eric Folkerth, giving his take on the evening.
