Summary

Quilting needles in hand (just listen, you'll get it), the Spin Team get to a controversial topic once again - this time discussing racial diversity with author Trillia Newbell. Trillia's perspective is a unique and helpful one, as she gets into issues not yet talked about on Mortification of Spin. Especially as Christians, we need to remember to treat other humans beings, created in the image of God, as brothers and sisters. What are practical steps that we can take to help create racially diverse churches? Can Aimee really quilt with nunchuck needles? What will Mrs. Trueman think of Carl's "feminine side?" If you enjoyed todays Mortification of Spin then you might enjoy a free copy of Trillia Newell's book United: Captured by God's Vision for Diversity.WinnersJason D., Haltom City, TXBeth H., Laceys Spring, ALRenee B., Oklahoma City, OKCharles B., Hattiesburg, MSAndrew F., Ben Lomond, CA

0:43.9	Well, it is great to be here. I don't know if it's great to be here or not. Carl and I actually are feeling a bit, oh, a bit out of place. We're at a quilting bee with Amy. We thought that
0:51.6	we would, since we recently made her an honorary man, we thought we'd
0:56.6	kind of maybe join her on one of her outings. And here we are surrounded by lots of fabric and
1:02.9	thread and needles. And it's all a bit unnerving. Carl? Yeah, I'm feeling very connected to my
1:07.8	feminine side. I didn't know I'd got one. But I, I mean, the one thing I'm excited about is I'm working on this new toaster cozy to take home.
1:17.2	It's made out of some corduroy and some macaroni that I painted gold.

1:35.1	us with those knitting needles. Yes, I'm knitting with my nunchuk knitting needles here. Exactly.
1:40.9	Making a nice Afghan. What do you think of my cross stitchstitch, Amy? Is it, is it making the grade?
1:45.9	The message that you're cross-stitching is a bit concerning.
1:49.0	We might need to bring that before the elders.
1:51.2	It's in Latin.
1:52.3	But I, yeah, all things considered, I'm more comfortable in a pub.
1:58.4	Well, I just wanted to give you guys the experience of women's group.
2:03.3	Right, right.
