About this Session
Rev. Junius B. Dotson and Rev. Ron Bell, Jr. spoke about crossing social and cultural barriers to reach new people and proclaim the good news.
The church is called to interpret our current realities, naming where God is present and where humanity is, to help bring about the kingdom of God. In this Kairos moment of protest and awakening, Rev. Junius Dotson, general secretary of Discipleship Ministries, seeks to share resources and guidance on how to REACH ACROSS.
