The Mission Equipping Communities for Transformation We are committed to reversing shame embracing cultural narratives that honor diversity and creating spaces for transformative growth Even in 1946 WWII anthropologist Ruth Benedict said that shame is an increasingly heavy burden in the United States and guilt is less extremely felt than in earlier generations. Christian theologians have rarely if ever stressed salvation as honoring God exposure of sin as shame and the need for acceptance as the restoration of honor Bruce Nicholls founder of the Evangelical Review of Theology If we dont talk about shame we dont talk about transformation We highlight the value of distinct cultures and show how who we are in our diversity can be an advantage to ourselves and a gift to others Dr. Kristin Caynor Join us in our mission Imagine .
