Who Can We Be Together?: A Biblical Exploration of Luke 13
Who Can We Be Together? A Biblical Exploration of Luke 13, the 2022 adult curriculum by Candace Simpson brings participants deeper into Jesus' teachings in this chapter of Luke to explore what it means to be in community. As the author notes, “For followers of Christ 2,000 years later, it's important for us to sit with the range of emotions we have in response to these words. It's not easy to build and sustain communities, especially when there are forces that drain us, exhaust us, and even push us to act uncharacteristically. And yet, we are called to act on the most ethical principles of our faith so we can witness the kin-dom of God on earth.''
Who Can We Be Together? can be adapted to a variety of settings outside of the Mission u format, including Sunday school, and other church school settings. Adaptations for distance learning are also provided.

social justice Sunday school
I really like that she includes so much social justice in a way that is accessible to everyone. It’s an “easy” read/do Sunday School class. She did a good job connected people who are in our recent past with the scriptures and demonstrating the relevance and practicality of the scripture to today. Personally, I would have liked to have seen it dive deeper into these connections, but I think the ease and simplicity of this book/these lessons do allow whoever is leading it to go as deep or shallow as they want. This book can be all things to all people…which can be a good thing, but can also leave it open for people skip over the powerful connections she’s trying to make to really important issues. However, I don’t see many Sunday School type books that address these issues so I do really like it because of that.

Read this with a group that meets most months of the year Each time we meet we discuss one chapter. This book was not my favorite as the chapters were very brief.
