In her book, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love,\\xa0author and activist Valarie Kaur says "wonder is where love begins." Are we willing to wonder about other people, who they are, what their lives are like, why they do what they do? Remember Zacchaeus, that "wee little man" (and notorious sinner) who climbed a sycamore tree just to see Jesus? Wonder what would have happened had Jesus not stopped to wonder about him? Because wonder draws the circle wider. (Luke 19:1-10)

This is Part 1 of a 9-part series this fall putting Valarie Kaur's See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love in conversation with Gospel stories of Jesus.
