Join us for a conversation with Shane Claiborne as we talk about living out Emmanuel, God with us. How do we engage the poor around us with the perspective of Christ? Jesus sought out relationships, friendships, and showed dignity to each person he encountered. How do we love and serve from the perspective of Christ? During the call you will hear stories from staff and insight from Shane about how we can love like Christ in every situation.

This afternoon call will kick off our year-end season of giving, as we pursue shalom for the Tenderloin and San Francisco together.
