This is my latest post for EthicsDaily.com.  It is a reflection of the inaugural meeting of the Society of Race, Ethnicity and Religion (SRER).  SRER was held in Chicago, April 26-28, 2013 at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and McCormick Theological Seminary. 

I love a good story.

Getting up at 3:30 a.m. to get to the airport by 4:30 a.m. is never fun.  But it was for a Fund for Theological Education (FTE) Alumni consultation meeting; so I felt alright about compromising my sleeping hours. The FTE Alumni consultation was held at Chicago Temple-United Methodist Church at 9 a.m. on Friday November 16, 2012.
