One of Our Presenters for the Dream Tank for Ministry Innovation and Possibilities. More Info here: http://presbyphl.org/dream-tank-ministry-possibilities/ FUSE (Fellowship of Urban and Suburban Engagement) seeks to join urban and suburban residents using activities and initiatives that diminish the “other-ness” within and between neighborhoods. This “other-ness” often feeds animosity and violence that perpetuates racism, cultural division and discrimination. Activities are designed to nurture diverse relationships and create safe spaces where residents can get to know each other on a deeper level. Through relationship-building and honest discussion, we believe we can change the perception of “stranger” to “neighbor.” Our initiative can successfully and sustainably bring people of different backgrounds together to build mutual bonds that get us all working together towards a better future.
