In this episode of "Awaken to God's Presence," host Blake Smith guides listeners through a spiritual practice in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The episode features a poem entitled "Communi-tea: Our Stories" by Prasanta Verma, which celebrates the diversity and unity within the Asian American community. It encourages solidarity, inclusion, and the recognition of the worth of all persons, in line with the principles of the Community of Christ. Listeners are invited to reflect on the experiences of those who have been marginalized and to consider ways to welcome them into a beloved community.
