We believe the key to loving our neighbor is rooted in understanding different cultures and races. Because we live in the midwest, most of our neighbors look like us, dress like us, and think like us. It's easy to believe that anything outside of this sphere is strange/wrong/other. We also believe it's our job to learn more about other races, cultures and lifestyles so we might be better neighbors to them, even if they don't live nearby. One great way to get this done is through reading books
