Description
Pastor of a bilingual, multicultural church for more than a decade, Gary Commins knows that "diversity" is a spiritual exercise that can be as charged with anxiety as it is laced with hope. In Becoming Bridges, Commins lays the groundwork for diversity as an intrinsic part of the life of faith and calls us to become "bridge people": people who are willing to traverse gaps of ignorance and bridge the things that separate us-religion, race, culture, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
