Commentary: Building Relationships Not Walls

And the Church offers many opportunities to build relationships, which dispel fear of “the other.” For example, Wolgemuth said, “when individuals serve at one of our (disaster) recovery sites, they often find themselves serving in marginalized communities where they are able to build relationships with those impacted by greed and prejudice.”
