AC T S 1 3 : 1 - 31Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

How do we know when we are achieving meaningful and authentic diversity?

In our organization, how is diversity missiologicallylinked to evangelism and

renewal?

Are our operational leaders committed to diversity as

much as our thought leaders? Vice versa?

In the next 90 days, how can our thought leaders and operational leaders experience diversity in a

transformative way?
