"How capable are we of bringing about authentic change if we don't have voices from the margins?" - Richard Twiss #weareccda

At #Pentecost, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit given to God’s people. We remember that from the beginning, God’s Spirit has always been moving, and God’s people have always been on the move. faithfulwitness.us #weareccda #faithfulwitness @worldrelief @nalecnews

The same Spirit that fell at #Pentecost still leads us today. Across complex realities, our immigrant neighbors are walking by faith, trusting God daily. It’s time for the Church to listen and respond. faithfulwitness.us #weareccda #faithfulwitness @worldrelief @nalecnews
