Roommate's Name: Yes No Grassroots As a community of students, - We confess the brokenness of our world and the sin of racism which has infected our world on a personal, institutional and cultural level. - We confess that cultural superiority and internalized victimization have damaged our relationships with one another, creating social tensions. - We confess that we often submit to the world's definition of who we are while failing to "ungrasp" those identities in exchange for one rooted in the image of God. Illuminated by God's grace and wisdom, we commit to: - Reflecting the kingdom of God in how we interact with one another - Restoring and redefining our ethnic identities by exploring race relations in the context of the United States, IDIS 190 - Sharing our living and learning together through communal meals and activities By checking this box, I commit to living in accordance with the above community mission and expectations if I am chosen to live on a floor for the 2009-2010 academic year.
