This study invites participants to consider the gospel command to love (and not merely tolerate) those considered to be “other” or outside mainstream Christian culture. Rooted in the faith of Israel and the Christian story and vision, Will Willimon, in the book being used for this study brings a Wesleyan perspective to bear on what may be the hardest thing for people of faith to do: keeping and loving the "other" as they are, for there is no fear in love.
