Who,

|
|
The September Presbyterians Today Online takes a look at overcoming racism. The title article, "Who, Me? Prejudiced?," gives examples of Presbyterian congregations rooting out racism.

And two resource sections - one on taking action and the other on books and other resources available - prove helpful. Plus new classifieds as well as this month's Bible Exploration, Spiritual Fitness, and Q & A columns. |
