Centering Thought
“. . . focusing solely on cultural competency can lead to undesired consequences. . . the term implies that one has learned everything they need to learn about a certain culture or group of people, when in fact learning is a never-ending process.”

Sung Prayer #402 From You I Receive
Reflections on Cultural Humility
*Closing Hymn We Shall Be Known by Karisha Longaker
We shall be known by the company we keep,
By the ones who circle round to tend this fire.
We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
The seeds of change and life from deep within the earth.
It is time now.
It is time now that we thrive.
It is time we lead ourselves into the wealth.
It is time now.
And what a time to be alive.
In this great turning, we shall learn to lead in Love.
In this great turning, we shall learn to lead in Love.
