Ch 3-4
- One thing you learned: Standing still and taking stock is an important part of being a social innovator because it settles you into your current situation and allows you to address your intentions and progress. Many want to help, but taking stock and analyzing your warranted efforts allows us to become mindful of what we are doing in the present. p.82
- One thing you connected to your own experience: Once again I am reminded of my place in Beloved's ministry. I am but an ambitious intern for only one month, and yet my ambitions outgrow all of my qualification of experience in this area of social reform. But, this reading has shown that a hard head is no more beneficial than an empty one, and creative brainstorming can be balances with calm contemplation with the bigger picture.
- One question you have: How can I be still and take stock of the full scope of Birmingham's redlining issues? Is that even a possibility? Where should I start within the system to fully understand what obstacles stand in between Beloved and their community mission.
