Today was "Practice Justice" day at the Youth Gathering. We met at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to learn about what it means to make a difference in the everyday lives of people. Then we had a cultural immersion experience in New Orleans where we experienced local drama, dance, and music and discussed privilege and inequality. We learned how we understand life (and God) through our own culture first. Maturity includes respecting other ways of life as valuable.
Chautauqua Area Lutheran Youth gratefully acknowledges the support of the Karl Peterson Funds & Lynn Foundation Fund of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation in making this project a reality.
