Thoughtful Leadership - Thoughtful Discussions

Fr. Greg OR Fr. "G" introduces the idea of standing on the margins with those who are despised, forgotten and voiceless as part of a community of Kinship. No "us" vs. "them". He challenges people to stand at the margins and to obliterate the idea that some lives might be worth more than other lives.
