Part 21: Bible study Matthew 15, 21 - 28 in search of inclusion in times of pandemic.

Bible study on the story of an unnamed woman that can be found in the gospels of Matthew and Mark. The proposal of the Rev. Izani Bruch, Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chile (IELCH), is to analyse it on the reality of the pandemic time, where in addition to the health crisis, in Latin America we can observe the increase of violence, racism, discrimination and hunger.

The biblical study deals with a fundamental issue in the early community, namely the question of the place of the Gentiles or pagan people in the ministry of Jesus and in the community.
