Beyond skin color 

Christian Kongolo

This teen couldn’t understand why a guy on social media had rejected his friend request. When it came to light that skin color might be the issue, he turned to prayer to understand more deeply that, in his words, “It isn’t being of the same race or culture that makes us feel ‘in.’ It’s God. It’s knowing that we are living in God’s kingdom as God’s offspring.”

Can Christian Science solve my problems?
