Our friend Leroy Barber has a mission to his community here in East Atlanta and has written a book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newneighbor.org\/\">New Neighbor,<\/a> about being a neighbor where ever you are. He is a great inspiration to us in how he serves other and the way he sees possibility. He is fighting social injustice and often makes us stop to think about the changes we could and should be making.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an excerpt from his book:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are regularly bombarded with the message that our world is getting smaller. We have more information about more people and cultures than we&#8217;ve ever had before. Yet our sense of disconnectedness continues to grow. How is it that we know people in other cities or even other countries, yet know nothing of the lives of the people next door? New Neighbor challenges our assumptions about what a neighborhood could be. This vivid gallery of words and images gives us a glimpse into what Leroy Barber and many of his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.missionyear.org\/\">Mission Year<\/a> team members are discovering about being a New Neighbor. It is an invitation to join this movement. To explore, question, wonder and wrestle with others who are longing to be New Neighbors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy0.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"leroy0\" src=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy0.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"leroy1\" src=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chris did Leroy&#8217;s portraits over the summer and they were used in this book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy2.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"leroy2\" src=\"http:\/\/6offour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/leroy2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-post-sig\"><a href=\"#contact-form\">Inquire for your Wedding or Portrait Session<\/a> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday night we went to a local book signing.
