Although gratitude is part of many faith traditions
and cultures, we express it in different ways.
Differences in race, religion, gender, and sexual
identity influence how people express and practice
gratitude. How do
differences inspire
a gratefulness
practice, inform
our social justice
activism, and invite
us into deeper
relationship with
God, ourselves,
and each other?
