Paperback. Condition: Fair. More Than Merely Eyes Can See weaves together the stories of a small church-mostly comprised of middle-class suburban members-and its inner-city neighbors. It begins with the congregation confronting itsisolation in the community. A predominantly negative image had taken root in the congregation's imagination and festered in the absence of meaningful relationships with neighbors. Rebuilding those relationships began with listening. In 2011, the congregation launched the Friday Gathering and invited members and neighbors to dine together each week.More than forty diners shared stories about their lives with grace, humor, and occasionally brutal honesty. They challenge the stereotypes spawned by census data and headlines and dignify the resiliency of the soul and thedeep-seated need to belong. Many organizations, not just churches, want to be perceived as warm andwelcoming. But hospitality and charity often come with strings attached. Our norms and expectations about giving and receiving can be barriers to building trust, which is essential to building relationships. More Than MerelyEyes Can See offers readers diverse perspectives on racial identity, the shortcomings of charity, opportunities to repair inequitable systems, and the power of relationships.

The individual portraits presented show the world as it is and lives that are undeniably beautiful, frustrating, tragic, and, at times, funny. They open the mind and the heart to the simple idea that a meal, a conversation, and a radical acceptance of a human being, with all their individual strengths and flaws, can build community in ways more powerful than politics or slogans. More than Merely Eyes Can See, and the individual stories therein, is a reminder that fiction is often a poor facsimile for real life.- Marc Fitch, novelist and investigative reporter for CT Inside Investigator.…
