"We appreciated exploring what it really means for those of us who call ourselves Christians to be 'created in the image of God' and what a world fully reconciled with God would look like. The challenge to reflect on what it means to be reconciled with God and called into a relationship with all people - despite our differences - was significant. We recommend these studies for groups in all Uniting Churches to tackle!"
