Reviews

"This document challenges our vantage points and invites us all into conversation but not with general thoughts or statements. The challenging invitation comes with charts and maps, dates and name, places and peoples that we can point to, examine while inviting each other into the mutual challenge of becoming a better people living and working together as a faithful community."
Reverend Ann Helmke,
Faith-Based Liaison, City of San Antonio
