As recent events have proven, the issue of race continues to divide our community in painful, even frightening, ways. In cooperation with the Women's Intercultural Exchange (
http://www.wi-ce.net), a Charlotte group that works to heal social wounds and bring people of diverse backgrounds together, the Cabarrus College of Health Sciences and First Presbyterian Church are hosting three listening and discussion sessions in Davis Hall. On three consecutive Thursdays
(
October 5, 12 and 19) from 6:00-8:00 p.m., voices from Cabarrus County will join to "listen to one another's hearts" and look for ways that we might heal some of the racial divisions that too often keep us apart. Food trucks will be available outside Davis Hall. Please help us offer the best hospitality we can muster for these important conversations. For more information,
contact Peter Bynum at the church.
