Race and Place: How Urban Geography Shapes the Journey to Reconciliation by David Leong. We long for diverse, thriving communities in our neighborhoods and churches, yet we see the racial injustices that are so entrenched in places and spaces. What we are missing is a recognition of the impact that physical structures and locations have on our quest for reconciliation. This book helps us understand the realities that divide us. The author is associate professor of missiology at Seattle Pacific University, so you'll find lots of local references in this book. RSVP: This email address is being protected from spambots.
